A delicious and easy recipe for Honey Soy Salmon Glaze that combines sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add the butter and pour the honey-soy mixture into the skillet. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon.
  7. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add it to the skillet and stir gently until the glaze thickens and becomes glossy.
  8. Continue cooking until the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
  9. Spoon the thickened glaze over the salmon and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
  10. Serve immediately with steamed rice, vegetables, or noodles.

Notes

  • Keep the heat at medium or medium-low once the honey glaze is added. High heat can cause the honey to burn before the salmon is fully cooked.
