Why This Recipe Works
The glaze โ All of the flavor comes from a simple, 4-ingredient glaze that will Blow. Your. Mind. Seriously โ Iโm obsessed with this combination of flavors: melted butter, garlic, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey. Just pour that good stuff over the honey salmon, wrap it in foil, and bake it to flaky, tender perfection.
Easy cleanup โ Cleanup is a breeze! Reuse that foil to wrap up any leftovers for tomorrowโs lunch, or toss the whole thing right in the garbage โ no pan scrubbing required.
Feeds a crew โ This salmon easily feeds my family with leftovers. Or it feeds my family and my parents, so you know it’s good to feed those surprise guests, too.
Great for leftovers โ I have been known to make this baked salmon in foil for no one but myself. I make it on Sunday and eat it all week long for lunches. Great on Greek salads, over pasta, or in a wrap.
Here’s How You Make It
Are you ready to bake up the best baked salmon of your entire life? Letโs get to it!
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, line and grease a large baking sheet with foil. If you donโt have foil, or donโt want to use it, no worries, just grease a large baking sheet and proceed to the next steps.
- Lay the salmon on the foil/baking sheet and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place lime slices under the salmon (so you get that lime taste from under and above the salmon!).
- Next, stir the butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic together. Pour this mixture over the salmon and fold up the sides of the foil over the salmon. If the sides donโt touch, itโs okay.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, then change the oven over to โbroilโ and cook the salmon another 5 minutes under the broiler.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Do You Bake Salmon Covered or Uncovered?
Whether or not you bake salmon covered or uncovered depends on the recipe. I bake it uncovered so that it develops a nice, crisp top from baking then broiling. If you close it up in foil, it will steam rather than bake.
Do You Have to Wash Salmon Before Cooking?
You donโt have to wash your salmon, but I do give mine a little rinse under cold water and then pat dry with a paper towel before putting it on the baking sheet. This helps to โfreshenโ up older (not expired, but not just-caught-from-the-ocean, either) fish and makes your seasonings stick to the honey salmon better for cooking.
Expert Tips
- If you donโt have a huge salmon fillet, donโt worry about it. This baked salmon recipe works for a large salmon or a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small fillets. Just watch the cooking of smaller pieces so that they donโt overcook.
- Salmon already has a high fat content and can cook in its own fat just fine if you donโt want to add all the butter. Cut the butter back to just 4 tablespoons and itโll still taste amazing โ if not quite as buttery.
- Be sure to bake the salmon skin-side down (if yours has skin) and leave the skin on. The skin creates a barrier between the cooking element and the flesh. So, if anything happens to stick to the baked salmon in foil, itโll be the skin, and itโll also be so easy to take right off once baked.
- If you arenโt cooking one big fillet, try to cook up smaller pieces or fillets that are about the same size, that way you wonโt overcook some and undercook others.
- To help the seasonings stick to the salmon, pat the salmon dry before adding salt and pepper. That will make the skin get crispy too, and help keep the salmon moist.
