Salmon is always a great choice when you want to have a healthy, tasty, and easy-to-prepare meal, and it’s especially refreshing on a hot summer night. This Honey-Broiled Salmon recipe is a perfect example of that. In this recipe, the combination of the sweet honey, savory soy sauce, tangy apple cider vinegar, garlicky flavor, and black pepper creates a delicious and flavorful glaze that adds a perfect balance to the hearty salmon.
This recipe is super easy to prepare and cook, making it a great option for busy weeknights. All you need to do is mix the ingredients for the glaze, brush it over the salmon, broil it for a few minutes, and voila! The result is a beautiful, golden brown, and perfectly cooked salmon fillet that is both sweet and savory.
One thing that makes this recipe stand out is its versatility. You can serve it with a wide variety of side dishes, from veggies to rice to mashed potatoes. It’s perfect for an upscale dinner night in with a loved one, a dinner party with friends, or even meal prep for the week. You could also chop this salmon up and use it for a poke bowl or to top one of my other bowl recipes.
If you’ve never had salmon before, you’ll be surprised by how filling it is. I could easily eat an 8 oz steak, but one 4-6 oz filet is usually plenty for most people. This recipe serves 4, and cooks fast for those busy weeknights. Just be careful to watch it under the broiler so it doesn’t burn. Since it’s summer time, you could also easily adapt this recipe for the grill.
This honey-broiled salmon is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish to add to your dinner rotation. It’s a great way to impress your guests with your cooking skills or to treat yourself to a delightful dinner. One of my favorite ways to serve this is with a lemony white rice and chopped zucchini and summer squash.
