Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 6 ounces each, skin on
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, ¼ teaspoon adds mild heat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper (or foil) for easy clean up.
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, butter, garlic and red pepper flakes. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until bubbly, then continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, until slightly thickened. (The sauce will thicken up more as it rests.) Remove pan from the heat. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the glaze in a small bowl for serving.
- Place salmon, skin side down, in the prepared baking dish. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush a thin layer of the glaze over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Bake salmon for 10 minutes. Then brush with more of the glaze from the pan. Continue baking for 2-8 more minutes, or until salmon is cooked through to 145°F, brushing with more glaze every few minutes. The cook time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Discard any extra glaze left in the pan.
- Serve salmon with the glaze that you reserved in the small bowl.
