Honey Soy-Glazed Salmon

Honey Soy-Glazed Salmon

Who knew honey and salmon

were such a delicious pair? The results of this recipe are irresistible, and we're pretty sure it'll become your go-to weeknight dinner. A delightful blend of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats the salmon, infusing it with deliciousness in just 30 minutes. Sizzle the salmon in a hot pan until it crisps up perfectly on the outside. Then, take the leftover marinade, heat it, and let it thicken into a heavenly glaze for drizzling over the fish. Pair it with your preferred veggies (we like broccoli!) or rice for a complete meal that's hard to beat.

Ingredients

You'll Need:

  • 12 oz skinless salmon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Honey Soy Marinade

  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅓ cup less sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup honey
Lemons and Lime

Preparation

  1. Place the salmon in a sealable bag or medium bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix marinade ingredients.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon. Save the remaining marinade for later.
  4. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a medium pan, heat the oil. Add the salmon to the pan and discard the used marinade. Cook the salmon on one side for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove the salmon from the pan. Pour in the remaining marinade and reduce to a sauce-like consistency.
  7. Serve the salmon with the sauce and a side of veggies. We used broccoli.
  8. Enjoy!

    "Delicious! My tip is to try the sauce before using it, if you like it salty use the whole amount of soy sauce, if not reduce it."

    "Instead of ginger, I added ground ginger and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Drizzle some lemon juice on top and you have an amazing meal"

    "Because I ran out of honey I substituted part of it for maple syrup and that was the best accident I’ve ever done! 100% recommend adding substituting a bit of the honey for maple syrup, just adds an amazing faint maple flavour"

    "I love this recipe! We make it every Sunday night but I cook it a little differently. I bake the salmon in the oven at 400 for 12-15 minutes. While the fish is cooking, I whisk all the sauce ingredients together and reduce it in a small saucepan over high until the sauce thickens. I then pour the sauce over the fish and pair with rice and edamame. So good! 😋"

    "I added a bit of water to my low sodium soy sauce to cut down the salt and a little less than a 1/3 cup of honey. Then I boiled the broccoli in chicken broth (mixed with water as well). It came out great! 👌🏽 I meal prepped for the next few days."

    "I marinated it over night and the texture of the salmon changed so, I baked my salmon at 400 degrees and added the remaining part of the mixture when the salmon was cooked... I then broiled for 5 minutes... the flavors were amazing... my entire family enjoyed!"

    "It was delicious! I actually seared it on the stovetop so it would have that good crispness, but then ended up baking it at 400 for 15 minutes because my pieces were pretty thick!"

    "I used salmon with the skin and it was delicious! Also I use the normal soy sauce since I’m more of a salty girl!"

    "Add more oil then suggested. Your salmon will burn quickly with the oil amount suggested."
