Ingredients
Honey-Garlic Glaze Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat the Glaze: Pour the mixture into a pan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Brush the Glaze on Salmon: Using a brush, coat cooked or searing salmon fillets evenly with the warm glaze to infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the Salmon: Continue cooking the salmon in the pan or transfer it to the oven, allowing the glaze to caramelize and the salmon to cook through completely, typically 5-7 minutes depending on thickness.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from heat and serve immediately with any remaining glaze drizzled over the top for extra flavor.
Notes
- Apply the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sugars in the honey.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your taste preferences.
- This glaze pairs equally well with grilled or baked salmon, offering versatility in cooking methods.
