Honey Garlic Baked Salmon
May 31, 2016
Hi Everyone, Nicky here, calling in from Kitchen Sanctuary. Today I’m bringing you a recipe for the easiest and tastiest honey garlic salmon ever!
Honey Garlic Salmon
A quick marinade, then 15 minutes in the oven, and you’ve got a super healthy dinner that everyone will love.
The honey-garlic flavor means it’s a total hit with the kids – to the extent that they ask me to make extra so they can take it for their packed lunch the next day.
Even the salmon haters will like this recipe. Honey garlic is such a popular flavor combination that you really can’t go wrong. I love how the marinade permeates right into the salmon leaving every bite you take full of yumminess. Trust me, you’ll be craving salmon after you try this easy recipe!
Although it’s got soy sauce in – which makes it feel a little Asian-inspired – it’s quite a delicate flavor. This means you don’t have to stick with Chinese noodles/rice/stir-fry veg to serve it with.
How to Make Honey Garlic Salmon
The first step is to make the yummy marinade. Mix together all the ingredients in the bowl. Add the salmon to a bowl or bowl and the pour over half the marinade. Cover and let it sit for a bit to work its magic.
Once the salmon is done marinating. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes and then brush on more marinade. Put it back in the oven for another 8 minutes. Quick and easy!

Love Salmon and this simple marinade sounds amazing! What a simple and healthy dinner and love the spiraled vegetable salad too – great texture and crunch! Thanks for the recipe!
This sounds delicious! I’ve made a similar ‘sweet’ salmon before using brown sugar, but since I’ve cleaned up my diet and tried to eliminate processed sugar, this looks like a great replacement for that! I love using natural sweetners like honey and dates for my recipes now. Thanks for sharing, pinning!!
