The Best Honey Glazed Salmon Recipe

My husband and I went to Paris for part of our honeymoon and ate the greatest salmon we’ve ever had. It was unforgettable. It was cooked to perfection with a hint of honey, a touch of soy, and a glaze that coated the fish so harmoniously it was as if that’s how mother nature intended it. We will never forget that meal. Before I could even take my last bite, I was already imagining how I would recreate this recipe. We needed to know we could have this back in New York whenever we wanted. And, after several attempts at making it, I finally got it — all the while putting my own little spin on it. I can’t wait for you to try this honey glazed salmon recipe. You’re about to fall in love.

Why this is my favorite salmon recipe

When making this honey glazed salmon recipe, it’s rare that I can get it from the cast iron pan to the dinner table without someone sneaking a bite (ahem, that someone is usually me). The salmon starts stovetop in an oven proof skillet (I prefer using my cast iron like this one here ) so it gets nice and seared on the outside. If you don’t already own one, I really can’t recommend one enough. They are built to last; like a Ford 150. They are durable, resilient, and, could outlast generations if maintained correctly.

Then, after searing on the stovetop, the salmon finishes up in the oven to cook all the way through. I should also mention, it cooks in a thick honey and soy glaze so all the flavors are absorbed by the salmon. From start to finish, the dish comes together in under 20 minutes so it’s the perfect midweek meal. But, is also worthy enough to serve when you’re wanting to impress your future in-laws.

Would you look at that glaze!?

How to cook salmon

Anytime you’re preparing salmon, you want to bring it to room temperature about 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with a clean paper towel to make sure you get as much moisture out as you can. Salt and pepper both sides to start it off with a nice coat of seasoning. While you’re bringing your salmon to room temperature, it’s a good time to start making the honey soy glaze.

Once you’ve assembled the glaze, you can start on your salmon. As mentioned earlier, we start by krisp-ing both sides of the salmon in a cast iron pan. Krisp the skin side first, then the other side. It’s okay if the middle is not cooked through at this stage, we’ll get to that later. When you have a nice sear on both sides, remove the salmon from the pan and pour in your glaze. This is where the magic happens.

The glaze won’t look like nearly enough to cover the salmon, but go ahead and pour it into the pan anyway. You’ll soon cut it with flavorful chicken broth to balance out the flavor. Let the glaze cook down for about 5 minutes before adding the salmon back in.

Once the glaze reduces, add in the salmon back in the pan (skin side up!) and finish cooking it inside the oven for about 3-5 minutes depending on how thick your salmon is. Watch it carefully, salmon can turn from undercooked to overcooked very quickly.

A QUESTION FOR THE MOMS, DADS, GRANDPARENTS, CAREG A QUESTION FOR THE MOMS, DADS, GRANDPARENTS, CAREGIVERS, etc. 
basically anyone experienced with a tiny human:

Baby B will be here in about 90 days and this mom-to-be needs a little help 😫. There are endless blogs and people trying to sell you baby stuff (Does a baby REALLY need a towel warmer?) Theres literally something for everything but I feel like some of it is unnecessary —especially when you’re limited on space? 🥴. 

What are the things you REALLY need for a newborn baby? 

👇🏾Let me know all the sheets, onesies,swaddles, pacifiers, sleepers, etc. and if you have no idea, tag your bestie who would know. I’d be forever grateful 🙏🏽 I’m ready to take notes 📝

The face of a woman who is beyond thrilled to have The face of a woman who is beyond thrilled to have organized her new bathroom. 

👉🏾Picture 1: aforementioned thrilled woman (me)

👉🏾Picture 2+3: found these amazing non-drill shelves. All you have to do is stick them on any wall and the ACTUALLY HOLD up to 10lbs. I’ve had them on my wall for weeks now and they are SO sturdy and carry all my fav essentials. BONUS:  no drilling or holes in your wall 😏

👉🏾Picture  4+5: #FACTS I’ve never been a fan of shower caddies. They smell and are hard to clean. However, our new bathroom lacks tub ledges so I was forced into buying one. I searched for hours and found this bamboo one that won’t mold and has SO much space to organize all your shower elixirs. Plus, it’s really pretty. Who knew a shower caddy could bring such joy? 🤣
