Honey Glazed Salmon
Description
The recipe for "Honey Glazed Salmon" combines sweet honey and tangy lime with the richness of salmon. Each filet is seasoned, coated with flour to promote a light crust, and drizzled with honey for caramelization during searing. The salmon is quickly seared on each side in olive oil to develop a golden surface, then finished in the oven to cook through evenly.
The accompanying browned butter lime sauce is prepared by clarifying butter until golden and aromatic, then mixing in pressed garlic, honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice. This sauce adds a bright, slightly sweet, and buttery note that balances well with the salmon's richness and mild sweetness from the glaze.
Served immediately after baking, the salmon has a moist, tender texture with a delicate sweet-savory crust. The lime zest garnish intensifies the citrus aroma and freshness. This dish pairs well with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice to highlight its flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
For the browned butter lime sauce
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with browned butter lime sauce and lime zest, if desired.
