Salmon has always been a hit in out house, especially when this honey soy glazed salmon is on the menu. It’s a stress-free, delicious meal that is bound to have the entire family excited at dinner time.
The mild, delicate flavour of the salmon is an ideal blank canvas for the flavourful sauce, made with sweet honey, salty soy and a hint of ginger and garlic.
The sauce takes minutes to cook and the recipe requires little to no prep. Simply add all the ingredients to a frying pan and saute together until the sauce becomes slightly sticky and coats the salmon.
Ingredients
(Serves 5)
5 salmon filets (sliced about 4 x 3 inches)
1/3 cup raw honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tbs. pureed ginger
2 garlic cloves, halved or finely minced (I preferred halved and remove before serving)
Preparation
Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and honey to a large frying pan.
Cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until bubbling and reduced by about third.
Add the salmon filets and continue to cook on medium heat, spooning the sauce over the filets as they cook to coat.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until translucent but still moist. Salmon tastes best when it is still slightly pink inside however, it’s probably a better idea to cook it thoroughly when serving to little ones!
I’ve served this honey soy glazed salmon a variety of sides- on a bed of brown rice or risotto, sauteed or crispy kale chips, or with crunchy homemade parsnips chips (pictured below).
For the parsnips chips, thinly slice the parsnips (a mandolin works best) then fry in a deep fryer on large deep pan (be sure they are completely covered in the oil) until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt.
I love Salmon and this looks absolutely delicious, thanks for the recipe I have a few salmon pieces to cook up tomorrow
Great! Let me know if you try this!
I love seafood. However, I cannot remember the last time I had salmon. This does sound delicious though.
Maybe it’s time to make it soon 😉
Omg I’m not even that big of a seafood fan & this looks delicious!!! I’m going to have to pin this deliciousness!!!
My husband isn’t a huge fan of salmon either but he loved this! The glaze is so flavourful so it actually masks the strong flavour of the salmon!
ooo another way to make one of my favorites. looks so yummy ♥
My youngest son and I love salmon, however hubby and my oldest aren’t as big fans so we don’t get to eat it as much as I would like to. I make a glaze with apricot jelly and soy and sesame oil. YUM
My husband isn’t a huge fan either! That glaze sounds DELICIOUS!!!
We love salmon and this recipe looks quick and easy. We’ll have to give it a try.
I’ve never made parsnip chips.. looks interesting..
Either had I! They’re amazing!
That sounds like it would be a great dinner!! My kids would love this!
This looks good although I would never be able to get the 6 year old to eat this at all. But I’m going to try this for me.
My kids love fish so this is a family favourite. I mix their salmon with some fried rice…just to give it a little more texture.
This looks so good! I love anything with a honey soy glaze! I think it really brings out the flavor of the natural food. Thanks for sharing!
We have Salmon almost once a week, so this is a delicious sounding way to prepare it. Maybe tomorrow night. Thanks.
We do as well so I’m always looking for different ways to prepare it.
It looks really good but I am not a fish eater. The chips now they sound kind of good to me.
salmon is probably my favorite food and I always order it when I go to restaurants. this one is definitely good for my pin board
Me too! Thanks for sharing!
This looks so delicious! I have never tried salmon or parsnips, but I think this may be the way to try it!
Really? you’re missing out, lol! You have to try them!!
I’m not a huge fan of salmon, but maybe this recipe would change that. I’ll have to give it a shot!
Awesome! Hope you love it as much as we do!
I can’t believe I’ve never thought of using honey on salmon before! Where have I been? This would be awesome!
Lol! It is delicious. I love the combination of the salty soy sauce and the sweet honey, and it give the sauce that sticky, dense consistency!
Salmon is one of our favorites in the summer when we can grill it out. I will definitely give this a try.
I love eating salmon at any time of the year and every way possible, grilled, bbq’d, baked or even sauteed and flaked in cold salads!
Love salmon and this sounds really tasty. The only thing missing on this plate is color… like carrots or something. It would make it come alive. Thanks for sharing – copying recipe if that’s alright straight on to Pinterest. 🙂
Unfortunately these pictures are dated! I need to make this soon so I can take more pics…I will add some fresh parsley too next time to give it some colour! And yes, by all means, SHARE 😉
I am sending this recipe to my Mom who loves Salmon. I am going to try those parsnip chips-I bet they are delicious!
Great! I LOVE parsnips chips…you could also do this with carrots or turnips!
It looks delicious. My uncle loves Salmon…he’ll go crazy over this. I have to pass this along to him.
Thanks…you should try it too 😉
Salmon is my son and his wife’s choice of meal for holidays. I will pass along this recipe to them, I know for sure they will love getting it!
Thanks! I hope they love it!!
My daughter suddenly is pushing away her salmon (after always loving it!). I think I just found the solution…
Same thing with my son…he used to LOVE salmon!! I made the mistake of mixing this with rice the first time I gave it to him (he’s been off rice lately!) so this time I gave him the salmon only and he loved it!
Yum! I cook Salmon often – but my kiddos are not huge fans. I think that this will the perfect recipe to re-introduce them to it. I think that the sweetness of the dressing will help!
I definitely think it helps! My son ALWAYS loved fish then went through a phase when he stopped eating it. Well, he now loves salmon again! The sauce really makes a difference 😉
