This crispy honey garlic salmon is one of those weeknight dinners that looks like you spent an hour but takes barely twenty minutes. The glaze caramelizes into a sticky, sweet-savory shell while the inside stays buttery and flaky. Serve it over jasmine rice with some charred broccolini and you've got a restaurant plate at home.
Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and sliced scallions for garnish
Instructions
- Make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha until smooth. Set aside.
- Season the salmon. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear skin-side down. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes without moving until the skin is golden and crispy.
- Flip and glaze. Flip the fillets and pour the honey garlic glaze over and around them. Cook for 2 more minutes, spooning the glaze over the tops as it bubbles.
- Finish under the broiler. Transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler (high) for 2–3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon is cooked through.
- Serve. Plate over jasmine rice. Spoon extra glaze from the pan on top, then finish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Chef’s Notes
- Don’t skip patting the salmon dry — moisture is the enemy of a crispy sear.
- Watch the broiler closely. Honey burns fast, and you want caramelized, not charred.
- Works beautifully with steelhead trout or arctic char if salmon isn’t available.
