Sweet
and savory honey and garlic glazed salmon is a favorite. The glaze comes
together quickly and coats the salmon before baking it in the oven. The salmon
is flavorful and delicious and great accompanied by a salad or sautéed greens
for a quick and impressive meal.
Ingredients
Honey Garlic Glaze
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic, from 1 large clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce, or gluten-free Tamari
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Salmon
- 1 or 2 packages of Snake River Farms salmon
- Kosher salt, as needed
- Freshly cracked black pepper, as needed
- Honey Garlic Glaze
- Lemon wedges, for serving, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepot, add the honey, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and salt. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with ½ cup cold water, and stir to combine. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils for at least 1 minute.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the glaze has reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon and garlic has softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. The glaze will continue to thicken slightly as it cools, and an ice bath may be used to speed up the process.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, and place skin-side-down on the parchment lined baking sheet. Season the salmon with salt, and pepper, as desired. Spoon or brush the salmon with honey garlic glaze, coating the top and sides.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to desired doneness.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve warm with additional glaze and lemon wedges, as desired. Enjoy!
