Hot Honey Roasted Salmon
Description
This Hot Honey Roasted Salmon recipe starts by infusing honey with sliced jalapeno peppers over low heat, then straining out the peppers and seeds to create a mildly spicy honey glaze. The salmon fillet is seasoned simply with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then drizzled with the hot honey. Lemon slices laid on top roast during baking, adding citrus notes and moisture.
Baked at a high temperature in foil, the salmon cooks until it flakes easily with a fork, ensuring a moist and tender texture. The honey provides a sticky, shiny glaze, while the jalapeno-infused flavor offers a subtle kick without overwhelming the fish. Finishing with an extra drizzle of honey or peppers before serving enhances the layered flavor profile.
This roasted salmon pairs nicely with fresh lemon juice added at the table to brighten the rich fish and sweet glaze.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 jalapeno pepper thinly sliced
- 1 salmon filet 2 pound
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Heat the honey and the jalapeños in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the honey come to a light simmer then turn off the honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve to remove the peppers and the seeds.
- Place your salmon filet on the foil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spoon a few tablespoons of the honey on top of the salmon and place the lemon slices on top. Roast for 15 to 20 minute, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Before serving, drizzle a bit more honey on the salmon and add the peppers if you wish. Serve with an extra spritz of lemon.
