Honey Glazed Salmon
Description
Honey Glazed Salmon starts by seasoning salmon fillets, which are pan-seared skin side up in olive oil until cooked through. The salmon retains moisture while forming a slight crust on the outside. After removing the fish, a glaze is created in the same pan by quickly cooking minced garlic, then adding a mix of water, lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey. Cornstarch mixed with cold water is whisked in to thicken this glaze to a glossy sauce.
The salmon is returned to the pan briefly to coat with the sticky glaze, infusing sweet and savory flavors. Parsley sprinkled on top adds color and a mild herbaceous note. Lemon wedges complement the dish by adding acidity if desired.
This recipe works well as a stand-alone entrée or paired with steamed vegetables, rice, or noodles to absorb the honey soy sauce. The preparation highlights the contrast between tender fish and rich glaze.
