Honey Glazed Salmon

September 8, 2019 by Life is but a Dish 113 Comments

This honey glazed salmon is packed with flavor from fresh ginger, shallot, and garlic. The sauce is top notch and ready to impress!

Honey Glazed Salmon

This was one of the first dishes I ever made for Zach when we first started dating. It was about 14 years ago and I really wanted to impress him with my famous Honey Glazed Salmon recipe. Let’s just say things didn’t go as planned.

I had the recipe written on a scrap piece of paper, and at the time I was not nearly as confident in my cooking skills as I am now. I was following recipes to a T, and for whatever reason I read the measurement of 1/2 cup orange juice as 2 cups. Oy.

Honey Glazed Salmon

I thought the sauce looked too watery but wasn’t sure why and basically ended up serving him a piece of salmon that was swimming in orange juice! Yeah he ate it, but for the life of him could not figure out why I was so excited to make this recipe. It was gross but…

HE MARRIED ME ANYWAY! And good thing because I never messed it up again, and it’s become one of our family favorites ever since.

Honey Glazed Salmon

Health Benefits of Salmon

Salmon alone has so many positive health benefits.  It’s an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals. The content of omega-3’s puts this fish over the top though.  What in the world is an omega-3?  In short, omega-3 fatty acids contribute to healthy brain function, the heart, joints and general well-being. Yes please!

Sides for Honey Glazed Salmon

Serve this easy, delicious salmon with my classic Coconut Rice recipe and a simple salad and DINNER IS DONE. An Arugula, Apple, and Avocado Salad would be absolutely divine, or do Massaged Kale Salad for some dark leafy greens.

Description

This honey glazed salmon is packed with flavor including fresh ginger, shallot, and garlic. The sauce is top notch and ready to impress!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup orange juice, (I use fresh squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place salmon in a baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil over medium/low heat. Add the shallot, ginger and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the orange juice, molasses, ketchup, honey, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Keep the sauce at a low rolling boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes until it begins to thicken, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour the sauce over the salmon and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Spoon sauce over salmon again about half way through baking.

Notes

*Use any leftover salmon to top over a salad the next day!
*This sauce makes extra, enough for about 1 1/2 -2 pounds of fish. So you can either make more fish, or save the extra sauce and use it to serve over chicken or meat later in the week!

    It is not a good idea to read about food when you are as hungry as I am right now. Give me that fish it looks amazing and the photo’s that you are taking are getting so professional looking you are ready for the food magazines. Love reading your text your school teaching credential is paying of.

    Sooo sweet and yummy! Salmon is always so touchy and easily over cooked. But this recipe was super fool proof and came out perfect!
    I didn’t have molasses on hand, so instead I melted some brown sugar and maple syrup in the microwave and used that in place of it, turned out maybeee a little thinner than it was supposed to, but delicious nonetheless!
    Definitely a new go to!

I did make a few subs: no molasses, add coconut aminos. I used fresh blood oranges for the juice and marinated red onions for the shallot. WINNER!

    I served it with grilled asparagus and Laneys amazing coconut rice which is a staple in our house! My husband isn’t usually a salmon fan and he loved this recipe, so it’s definitely a new go to! Thanks for another simple and tasty recipe!

    My husband and I loved this recipe. We eat a lot of salmon but typically just do s&p and pop it in the air fryer for a couple minutes. This was so flavorful and easy to prep, especially for a week night. We really enjoyed the sweetness and my husband added rep pepper flakes to give his a little kick. I overcooked my salmon a little because it was on the thin side so I would recommend to start checking at 15 minutes.

    For a family that doesn’t eat a lot of salmon, I was very excited to try this! Fish intimidates me, but the sauce just sounded so good we had to give it a go. It was very yummy! I used a regular onion because I didn’t have shallots. It was very flavorful and Im excited I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! My only regret is that I had 3 smaller salmon fillets, and I think I baked it a bit too long… still delish, but lesson learned!

    Really enjoyed the recipe!
    It was a little bit on the sweet side, so we added a bunch of freshly squeezed lemon (but really, we love lemon, so it probably would have been added anyway). I think next time I’ll try a touch less molasses, and add in some lemon juice to the simmer pot stage. I also took ours out of the oven at 18 minutes, and probably could have even only done 15 minutes (it was 1 3/4lbs of wild caught salmon, and the filets were on the thinner side).
    Served ours with Ginger Jasmine Rice (jasmine rice cooked with a few extra planks from the fresh ginger), steamed broccoli, and topped with some scallions.

    I haven’t made salmon in a while and this was a delicious, easy first recipe back! It had a bit too much ginger for my taste and made too much sauce, but I will definitely make again with a few tweaks to fit our taste buds. Maybe even add veggies to the sauce and top with sesame seeds. Yum! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    I haven’t made salmon in a while and this was a great meal for my reintroduction to salmon! Easy and delicious. It had a little too much ginger for my taste and next time I might half the sauce as we had a lot extra, but I will definitely make again. Thank you!

    This was a huge hit in a house full of picky eaters! I wasn’t able to find ginger at the store, so unfortunately I had to omit it, and I’m sure it would have tasted even better with it. But my husband, who doesn’t love salmon or sauces, went back for thirds!

    This was so delicious!! Always looking for new ways to make salmon and this recipe did not disappoint! I did not have molasses on hand so subbed brown sugar and it was maybe a bit thinner but still flavorful!

    I love salmon, but this recipe by Laney takes it to a whole other level of deliciousness. That savory sweet combination with a ginger note compliments the salmon. I am so glad I made this recipe and the entire family loved it too.

    I was so nervous to try this recipe because I don’t feel super confident with fish/salmon. Lanie said you can do this with chicken but I wanted to challenge myself and try it out the way it was intended. It turned out great! We had friends over for dinner and everyone loved it! Including my 2 year old son. I’m sure this would’ve been good with coconut rice but we just served it with plain rice and a veggie.
    I had to replace the molasses since I didn’t have any on hand but it was still amazing and I would absolutely make it again.

    Delicious and easy to make! Made the recipe to a T for Recipe of the Month. Next time will add sriracha or something to spice it up a bit. Will definitely be in the rotation going forward.

    This was really pretty good! I don’t love salmon unless it’s raw or smoked (I’m weird I know) but I wanted to go outside my comfort zone and the sauce was really good! I ended up dumping all of it on 1 pound of fish and not sure if that was the right choice or not. Maybe it would have caramelized a bit more if I was more reserved about it? I think I would actually like this sauce even better on crispy tofu, but again that’s more about fish preference. We ate this with coconut rice and roasted asparagus

    I really appreciated how simple this recipe was and it seems pretty foolproof! Molasses isn’t a staple in my house, so I subbed brown sugar, which I think let the ketchup flavor come through a bit much for my taste, so next time I’ll look for molasses. I also used onion instead of shallots, which worked well enough but there’s no doubt shallots are the way to go. With my subs, 4 stars (so, try not to take my shortcuts!)

    Loved it! I don’t usually love salmon, but this recipe was so good. I even got the sauce to thicken and I can never thicken sauces.

    This dish was so delish. The salmon came out perfect and was even good the next day. Next time I make it and I will definitely make it again I will at least double the amount of ginger the recipe asks for. I didn’t taste the ginger too much and I love ginger. Will try on some pork chops too.

    So good! It’s a new family favorite. I made it twice this month, once with molasses and once with brown sugar. Both were great.

    Salmon is a weekly dinner staple for me but my husband is not a big fan. I’ve been trying to get him on board so that we’re not making two different meals. Enter this honey glaze.!! We have found a winner and perhaps a salmon convert. We had enough sauce for two dinners and he insisted we have two nights in a row. This recipe will be a regular in our meal planning.

⁣
Jew-ish is the perfect way to describe how I grew up. Sure, I was raised Jewish, we celebrated all the big holidays and I had a Bat Mitzvah, but I never really built a strong connection with Judaism itself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve learned most everything I know about Judaism through having kids and learning alongside them. It’s been a beautiful journey for me and this book has inspired me to continue learning, celebrating and being proud. ✡️⁣
⁣
@jakecohen writes about making Shabbat and Jewish traditions whatever you want them to be without the pressure of making it perfect. He also teaches you how to make this challah! For me, food is what brings us all together and BOOM CLAP it doesn’t get more Jewish than this big ass challah! ⁣
