HONEY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. With paper towels, pat it dry on both sides.
• In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, hot water, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Keep near the stove.
• Heat an ovenproof skillet (cast iron is ideal) just large enough to hold the salmon comfortably over medium high-you don't want the salmon to overlap, but you also don't want there to be too much extra room around the salmon or the sauce may burn.
• Sprinkle the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (wait to season the fish until just before adding it to the pan).
• Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan, then add the salmon, skin-side up/flesh side down. When lowering the fish into the pan, move it in a direction away from you so that you aren't splattered with oil. Sprinkle the skin side of the fish with a generous pinch of additional salt.
• Cook the salmon for 4 minutes without disturbing it, until it is browned and releases easily from the pan. With a thin spatula (a fish spatula is perfect), carefully turn over each fillet. Turn off the heat.
• Pour the honey mixture over the salmon fillets. With a spoon, baste the top of the fish with the sauce for 1 minute.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 4 to 5 more minutes for 1-inch fillets; if your salmon is thicker or thinner, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry (once I get close to 145 degrees F, I remove the salmon to a plate then cover it and let it rest a few minutes so the carryover cooking finishes the job).
• Sprinkle the salmon with parsley or green onion and squeeze additional lemon over the top if you like. Enjoy hot with more pan sauce spooned over the top.

EASY BAKED SALMON WITH HONEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
• Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper. Optional: spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce and minced garlic.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the parchment.
• Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the salmon. (Optional: place another piece of parchment on top and tuck the edges underneath the salmon.)
• Bake for 15-25 minutes depending on the salmon thickness (see note), spooning with pan juices halfway through. Serve and enjoy!

HONEY GARLIC BUTTER BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a baking tray with foil or a silicon mat.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin-side-down on the baking tray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, honey, parsley, salt, pepper and paprika.
• Pour the mixture over the salmon fillets (don't worry about any of the sauce pooling on the tray).
• Arrange the lemon wedges on and around the salmon.
• Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Open the oven and baste the salmon with any of the sauce that has pooled on the tray. Bake for a further 4-7 minutes until the salmon is tender.
• Serve with your favourite potatoes and green veg.

HONEY GARLIC GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon fillets until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Combine honey, water, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and garlic in a small pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until glaze is thick and smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour glaze over salmon fillets.

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
• Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.
