Honey Glazed Salmon
Description
The Honey Glazed Salmon recipe combines seasoned salmon filets seared skin-side down until golden, then simmered in a sauce made from beef and chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, hot sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. This glaze thickens as the salmon cooks, imparting a glossy, flavorful coating.
Sautéed broccoli softens slightly when cooked in peanut oil, providing a fresh vegetable component with a modest crunch. The salmon achieves a tender, flaky texture that flakes easily when tested, while the glaze adds a balance of sweet, tangy, and subtle heat. The dish is completed with cooked rice, making it a complete meal.
The notes include tips for checking doneness by touch, color, and temperature (145°F). The rice is prepared by simmering rinsed long-grain rice with chicken bouillon, ensuring fluffy grains. Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to three days, and the sauce benefits from being mixed cold to prevent premature thickening. Optional garnishes include green onions, peanuts, lemon wedges, and sesame seeds.

- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil can sub olive oil

- ½ cup beef broth
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce optional
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
Prep Work
- Combine the salmon seasonings in a small bowl. (Smoked paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.)
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a medium measuring cup with a spout. *Make sure the sauce ingredients are not warm/hot to ensure that you don’t activate the cornstarch. Store in a cool place until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
Sauté the Broccoli
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the broccoli. Cook for 4 minutes, until slightly softened. (Add a splash of oil if needed). Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Salmon
- Pat the salmon dry and sprinkle the seasoning over each filet, gently press it onto the surface.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon (skin-side-down if applicable), and sear for 3 minutes.
- Decrease heat to medium and add the sauce. Bring to a boil. Allow it to thicken, then reduce heat to medium-low. Use a spoon to baste the salmon as it continues to cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add the broccoli back to the skillet.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 7 minutes. Increase heat to a low broil (400°F) and cook for up to 2 more minutes to allow the top to caramelize. Watch it carefully during this time, don’t walk away. Remove from heat.
- Spoon the salmon with more glaze from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes prior to serving. It will increase a few more degrees during this time. Ensure that it reaches 145°F prior to serving.
- Transfer to serving plates and serve with rice!
Notes
- Salmon is cooked when the flesh flakes easily but remains moist inside; it should reach an internal temperature of 145° before resting.
- Cook rice by boiling water with chicken bouillon, then simmering rinsed long-grain rice covered, removing from heat and resting 10 minutes before serving.
- Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- Garnishes such as green onions, chopped honey roasted peanuts, lemon wedges, and toasted sesame seeds can enhance the dish.
