Make this incredibly moist and flaky Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon in under 30 minutes. This simple recipe delivers a rich, sweet-and-savory glaze perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, pepper, and salt to create the glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spoon the honey garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
  6. Garnish with fresh lemon slices before serving.

Notes

  • For a slight kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
  • If you want crispier edges, briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted asparagus or steamed rice for a complete, healthy salmon meal.
