Oven Baked Honey Soy Glazed Salmon
Flavorful and easy oven baked salmon with a simple honey soy sauce glaze. They come together in under 30 minutes and serve the whole family for an easy and healthy weeknight meal.
Equipment
- foil optional (to line baking sheet)
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon, sliced in 2 fillets and deboned these fillets are about 1 inch thick.
- salt and pepper to taste
Honey Soy Glaze
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic about 2 teaspoons
- ¼ teaspoon corn starch
- ½ teaspoon water
- 1 green onion, sliced optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat the salmon completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to thickness of the salmon filet (see below notes).
- Meanwhile make the honey soy glaze. Make the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl, set aside.
- Stir together the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and garlic in a small sauce pan on medium heat. When it comes to a light simmer, add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the glaze thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook or reduce sauce.
- Remove salmon from the oven and brush some of the glaze on top of each filet, saving the remaining glaze for later. Then broil the salmon for 2 minutes (about 2 to 3 inches away from the broiler).
- Add additional glaze over the salmon and serve with rice. Optional: garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
Notes
*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
- You can use salmon with or without the skin. After baking and broiling, you can easily separate the fish from the skin by sliding a spatula or knife under the fish and gently lifting away from the skin.
- Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. I am using a 1 inch thick, 8 oz salmon filet which takes a total of 12 minutes cooking time.
- If your salmon is ¾ inch thick, try baking for 8-9 minutes, then broiling for 1-2 minutes. For ½ inch thick, try baking 7-8 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes.
