This honey garlic salmon is a quick, flavorful, and healthy dinner option featuring pan-seared salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. It’s ready in just 30 minutes and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onion, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side up. Cook for about 4–5 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
  4. Flip the salmon and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ground ginger (if using) to the same skillet.
  6. Stir and simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the fillets to coat.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
  • You can bake the salmon instead of pan-searing if preferred.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or vegetables for a full meal.
