Honey (or Maple Syrup) Glazed Salmon

This was super simple and I thought it was delicious. The glaze was too sweet for my husband but you could always leave it off if you have someone in your house that doesn't have a love for sweeter foods.


Honey (or Maple Syrup) Glazed Salmon
Original Recipe: Worlds Best (and easiest) Salmon
Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS
  • 12oz salmon, cut into 4 portions with skin removed
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS
  1. In a glass baking dish, whisk honey, soy sauce and garlic. Place salmon in the dish and coat both sides. Refrigerate for 1 hour, flipping salmon halfway through.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F. Cover the glass dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Remove salmon from dish and pour juices into a small pot. Simmer over medium high heat until reduced by half. Serve over the salmon.
Tips:
  • I baked the recipe covered as the original recipe suggested, but next time I'll bake it uncovered and see if the sauce thickens by itself without having to transfer to a pot.
