A quick and easy one-pan baked salmon with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze that caramelizes beautifully, perfect for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey, preferably raw or pure
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced freshly
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce, low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush each fillet with olive oil and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an oven-safe skillet, spaced comfortably apart.
  5. Brush each fillet generously with the honey garlic glaze using a brush or spoon.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Around 10 minutes in, baste again with any leftover glaze for extra stickiness.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for more caramelization, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with sliced green onions and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges to squeeze over the salmon.

Notes

If glaze is too runny before baking, microwave for 30 seconds to thicken. Let salmon rest 3-5 minutes after baking to redistribute juices. Avoid overcooking to keep salmon tender and moist. Broil carefully to prevent burning the glaze. Fresh garlic is preferred for best flavor. Room temperature salmon cooks more evenly. Optional to add quick-cooking vegetables on the same pan for a full meal.
