Bonus Tips
Bonus TipsThis is a simple oven-roasted salmon recipe that can be kept in your back pocket to impress guests, or your own taste buds, any day of the week.
- This oven-baked salmon recipe works for any types of salmon. However, for the best taste (and to win everyone’s hearts), choose wild Alaskan salmon which has a richer and buttery texture.
- The honey can get pretty sticky, so be sure to line your baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- The soy sauce adds a nice umami flavor to the salmon dressing. If you are gluten-free, simply use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- You can easily omit the red pepper flakes if you don’t like spice, or add more for an extra-spicy honey-baked salmon recipe.
- Be sure to season your salmon fillets with salt and pepper before adding the marinade. This seasoning will melt into the salmon flesh so every bite has maximum flavor.
- The vinegar or lemon juice adds brightness and acidity to the dish. You can substitute it with lime or orange juice, or another vinegar that you love.
- Serve honey garlic baked salmon with brown or white rice and your favorite green vegetable side dish for a well-rounded weeknight meal.
