When prepared well, there’s hardly anything that can compare with salmon. Today we’re sharing three easy cooking methods that will transform your salmon from ordinary to extraordinary. From honey-glazed baked fillets to cedar plank grilled delights, these recipes will leave you with the most delicious fish dishes.
Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
Baking salmon in the oven is a foolproof method that requires minimal effort. For this recipe, mix 1/4 cup honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and the juice of one lemon. Brush this glaze over salmon fillets placed on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. The result is perfectly flaky salmon with a sweet and savory glaze.
Lemon Herb Butter Salmon
Pan-searing creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender. Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and more melted herb butter for extra flavor.
Cedar Plank Maple Glazed Salmon
Grilling imparts a delicious smoky flavor to salmon. Soak a cedar plank in water for at least an hour. Mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Place the salmon on the soaked plank, brush with the maple mixture, and grill for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
