Make this easy hot honey glazed salmon for a quick weeknight dinner. The glaze combines sweet honey with spicy chili for a perfect caramelized crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Hot Honey Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub them lightly with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Prepare the hot honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha (or red pepper flakes), apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until fully combined.
  4. Bake the salmon for 8 minutes. This initial bake helps the fish cook through before the glaze burns.
  5. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush half of the hot honey glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  6. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot salmon immediately before serving.

Notes

  • For pan-seared salmon, cook skin-side down for 5 minutes, flip, brush with glaze, and cook for 2-3 more minutes, reducing heat if the glaze darkens too quickly.
  • If you do not have hot honey, this recipe creates a similar flavor profile by mixing standard honey with chili.
  • Serve this sweet heat salmon with roasted asparagus or a simple quinoa pilaf.
