Honey Garlic Baked Salmon
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!

This looks really yummy. What adjustments do you think I would need to make to bake it in an air fryer
Hi Donna, Here are some air fryer instructions:
Prepare the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with a little vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cook the Salmon:
Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if applicable.
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes.
Apply Remaining Marinade:
Open the air fryer and spoon or brush on the remaining marinade over the salmon fillets.
Continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until the salmon is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
This looks delicious. I wonder if you have tried it an air fryer, and how much time I would reduce it by
