Honey Soy-Glazed Salmon

Who knew honey and salmon were such a delicious pair? The results of this recipe are irresistible, and we’re pretty sure it’ll become your go-to weeknight dinner. A delightful blend of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats the salmon, infusing it with deliciousness in just 30 minutes. Sizzle the salmon in a hot pan until it crisps up perfectly on the outside. Then, take the leftover marinade, heat it, and let it thicken into a heavenly glaze for drizzling over the fish. Pair it with your preferred veggies (we like broccoli!) or rice for a complete meal that’s hard to beat.

Ingredients

for 2 servings

• 12 oz skinless salmon (340 g)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Honey Soy Marinade

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
• ½ teaspoon red pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ⅓ cup less sodium soy sauce (80 mL)
• ⅓ cup honey (115 g)

Preparation

1. Place the salmon in a sealable bag or medium bowl.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix marinade ingredients.
3. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon. Save the remaining marinade for later.
4. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. In a medium pan, heat the oil. Add the salmon to the pan and discard the used marinade. Cook the salmon on one side for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Remove the salmon from the pan. Pour in the remaining marinade and reduce to a sauce-like consistency.
7. Serve the salmon with the sauce and a side of veggies. We used broccoli.
8. Enjoy!
