Description
A delicious and easy recipe for honey glazed salmon that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the honey mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
- If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, then brush with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, brushing with the marinade halfway through.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Swap out the honey for maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
