Make this tender and flaky Honey Garlic Butter Baked Salmon. It uses simple ingredients to create a sweet and savory glaze perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the glaze.
  4. Spoon or brush the honey garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the hot salmon before serving.

Notes

  • For a Texas Roadhouse style flavor, increase the smoked paprika slightly.
  • If you prefer a crispier top, briefly broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This recipe works well with frozen salmon, just thaw it completely before seasoning.
