Honey-Glazed Baked Salmon

I got this recipe from a friend and, as a new cook, it is easy to make and delicious to boot! Even when I make this recipe with fewer pieces of salmon (2 small salmon filets), I still make the same amount of honey glaze, because it is so delicious and I prefer having more sauce rather than not enough.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • cup honey

  • cup thinly sliced green onions

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon minced onion

  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

  • 4 salmon fillets

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Mix honey, green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.

  3. Place salmon in single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon honey mixture evenly on top of salmon; the mixture will run off, but try to coat the fish with a thin layer all over.

  4. Roast salmon in the preheated oven, basting salmon with the sauce at least once, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Tip

If using frozen salmon fillets, increase the roasting time to 25 to 30 minutes.
