Why I Love This Recipe

Some nights, a one-pan dinner is exactly what you need, and this one never disappoints. The salmon roasts until perfectly flaky while the hot honey glaze becomes sweet, sticky, and just the right amount of spicy. Pair it with roasted potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for an easy dinner that’s packed with bold flavor and comes together with hardly any cleanup.

Enjoying The Leftovers

Leftover salmon makes an easy meal that’s just as delicious the next day.

Storing

Store the cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

Warm the salmon in a 325°F oven, air fryer, or microwave until just heated through. Drizzle with a little extra hot honey before serving if you’d like an extra kick of sweet heat.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, chili onion crunch, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the hot honey glaze generously over each piece, making sure they're evenly coated.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The exact cook time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
  • During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, switch the oven to broil to caramelize the glaze and give the top of the salmon a beautiful golden finish. Keep a close eye on it so the glaze doesn't burn.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
