Honey Garlic Salmon
Honey garlic salmon is just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes to make for an easy, healthy and delicious weeknight salmon dinner!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (1-inch thick) salmon filets, about 6 oz. each
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for heat)
For serving (optional):
- Steamed brown or white rice
Toppings (optional):
- Sliced green onions, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped peanuts, red pepper flakes or sriracha, etc.
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper. (Go easy because the soy sauce has plenty of sodium.) Add the salmon filets to the skillet and cook on one side for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, in a small bowl until well combined.
- Flip the salmon filets over and cook on the other side for 5 minutes or until almost cooked through.
- Add the sauce to the pan and stir to coat with the salmon. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce is warm, about 1 minute more.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings and over steamed rice, if desired.

Notes
Leftovers: And as with most seafood, this really is best enjoyed immediately. However, you can store any leftover salmon and sauce in a covered container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
