Hot Honey Salmon Recipe
Take your crispy salmon to a whole new level with hot honey butter! This simple addition exaggerates the flavor profile into something special. Enjoy it with your choice of side dishes for a complete meal!
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- Sea salt to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Transfer the salmon filets to a large baking dish. Drizzle with avocado oil and use your hands or a silicone brush to coat all of the flesh with oil. Sprinkle the fish with sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Turn your oven on the High Broil setting and place the casserole dish on the shelf that is third from the top. Broil for 10-13 minutes, or until the salmon is crispy on the outside and fully cooked. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to check its internal temperature. Salmon is fully cooked once it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the salmon is cooking in the oven, prepare the hot honey. To do so, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 20-40 seconds, or until melted. Butter has a tendency to spatter in the microwave, so I recommend covering the bowl with something such as a small lid or a plate. Once melted, mix the honey into the butter. If the honey doesn’t mix easily, microwave again for 10 seconds.
- Drizzle hot honey mixture over the salmon, and enjoy! Serve salmon with a salad, roasted vegetables, rice, etc. If you’d like, you can make extra honey butter to drizzle over the rice and veggies in your meal too.
