Description
A delicious and easy recipe for honey soy salmon with a glossy glaze that creates perfectly tender, flavorful fish every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined
- Marinate Salmon: Place salmon fillets in marinade, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow to fully preheat
- Prepare for Baking: Place marinated salmon skin-side down in greased baking dish, drizzle with remaining marinade
- Bake Salmon: Cook for 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork but remains tender
- Make Glaze: Simmer reserved marinade in saucepan for 5 minutes until thickened and glossy
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle glaze over cooked salmon and garnish with sliced green onions
Notes
- Pat salmon dry before marinating to help the flavors adhere better to the surface
- Reserve some marinade before adding salmon to use for the final glaze
- Check doneness by gently pressing the thickest part – it should feel firm but give slightly
- Let the glaze reduce until it coats the back of a spoon for perfect consistency
