You can recreate restaurant-quality flavor tonight with this easy 25-minute Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon. This recipe delivers incredibly moist and flaky salmon fillets coated in a rich, sweet-and-savory glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for simple cleanup.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  4. Spoon the honey garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure the tops are well coated.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Garnish with fresh lemon slices before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes to slightly caramelize the glaze, but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well for a quick dinner for two; simply halve the ingredients.
  • Serve this healthy salmon meal with roasted asparagus or rice for a complete dinner.
