If you’re looking for a lighter dinner idea that doesn’t require hours of time in the kitchen or too many weird ingredients, then you have come to the right place.
My Oven Baked Honey Glazed Salmon is a quick meal option that appeals to even your pickiest eaters. There’s just something special about that sweet and savory glaze, that crispy exterior, and the buttery, moist fish inside!
How to make Glazed Salmon in the Oven:
First, place 6-ounce salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or in a casserole dish). I used 4 fillets here, but you’ll have enough glaze for 6 or 8 fillets, if necessary.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
How do you make baked salmon glaze?
This easy honey glaze for the baked salmon comes together with just a handful of basic ingredients — most of which you probably already have in your pantry!
You’ll need soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, orange juice, garlic powder, and of course — honey.
Whisk them all together and your prep work is basically done! I’m telling you — 5 minutes is all you need!
Baste the glaze on the salmon and then set aside the rest of the glaze to use later.
The glazed salmon roasts in a 450 degree F oven for about 10-12 minutes. I like to baste with the remaining sauce about halfway through for even more flavor.
What to serve with Honey Glazed Salmon (Salmon Side Dishes):
This fancy salmon recipe is so darn versatile, you can serve it with just about any side dishes that your family loves. I often pair the glazed salmon fillets with a starch and a vegetable.
- Rice, pasta, dinner rolls, Make-Ahead Garlic Mashed Potatoes, or a loaf of crusty French bread will all taste delicious with your salmon!
- Simple green veggies such as sautéed spinach, Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans, Garlic Roasted Broccoli or Oven Roasted Asparagus would be perfect;
- Or enjoy the fish with a side of Brown Sugar Roasted Acorn Squash or Brown Sugar Roasted Carrots.

Wondering what I can use instead of garlic powder because I’m out. Maybe white pepper?
Hi, Miah! Sure — some pepper would be nice, and maybe some onion powder if you have it? Enjoy!
