Honey Garlic Salmon is a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender salmon fillets seared to perfection and glazed with a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return salmon to the skillet and spoon sauce over the fillets. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to glaze the salmon.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for best results, but frozen and thawed works as well.
  • Adjust honey or soy sauce amounts to suit sweetness and saltiness preference.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
