Honey Glazed Salmon
The easiest, most flavorful salmon you will ever make. And that browned butter lime sauce is to die for!
I’m always intimidated to cook with salmon. It’s one of those temperamental ingredients that can be completely undercooked or overcooked. But with Wolf’s dual fuel range, you’ll be able to cook the perfect salmon right at home – wonderfully crisp and seared on the outside and completely cooked through to perfection on the inside.
Wolf dual fuel ranges feature the best of two worlds – gas cooking topside and an electric oven with dual convection below, ideal for cooking salmon. Now I’ve tried the pan-fried method on several occasions but the salmon either ends up too overcooked on the outside or completely raw on the inside. So by searing it first, you’ll get that amazingly crisp exterior, crusted with a sweet honey glaze. Once that’s done, you can pop it right in the oven to let it completely cook through.
Wolf dual convection also produces more uniform heating than a single convection fan can deliver. Wolf ovens, including the oven in the dual fuel range, include two convection fans that work to ensure air and heat is circulated evenly throughout the oven cavity – no hot or cold spots – meaning your food turns out completely evenly cooked. So your fish will always be cooked through without overcooking it. Amazing, right?
And once you top it off with the browned butter lime sauce – well, I won’t be the one to judge if you start guzzling down the sauce first. It’s absolutely heavenly, and the perfect complement to the honey crusted salmon. It’s so good, we made this recipe three times already just this week!
Honey Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
For the browned butter lime sauce
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with browned butter lime sauce and lime zest, if desired.

Tried this recipe. Absolutely loved it, really easy and delicious. I made some rice to accompany this dish, the rice with the butter sauce was also great.
Ohh my goodness!! This was truly amazing!! I added some shredded imitation crab meat to the top of my salmon and put it back in oven for a few minutes!! Served it over basmati rice with some snow peas!!
That butter lime, honey sauce is the bomb!! I should have tripled it!! I made extra the next night for my leftovers!! Amazing recipe!! Thank you ❤️ thisgigilovestocook!!
This was a wonderful and easy to make recipe. It was the only honey glaze salmon recipe I could find without soy sauce which was key since I was making it for my mom who can’t have all that salt that soy sauce has. So thank you for a delicious alternative! Also, didn’t have a lime, but used a lemon and it was delish!
Did you mean to have honey added in, both, steps two and three? I feel like it was supposed to added be only in step three. ??
Incredible! Thank you for an amazing recipe- especially for the winter months when we have to settle for previously frozen wild salmon. The sauce is perfection and complements the salmon exactly as described! We served with plain rice and salad because the salmon was the star and it was one of our best special meals with minimal effort. So appreciative of you and your recipes! You do not exaggerate- truly damn delicious!
Oh my goodness this was absolutely delicious, no it was damn delicious lol. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I just love salmon. I love how healthy it is and how you can throw together a quick meal with it every time. I will top this on a salad tomorrow but tonight I paired it with some jasmine rice, cucumbers and avocado. This will be a family favorite for sure! Thanks 🙂
Best salmon I’ve ever made!!
AmaZING! You knocked it out of the park once again.
This is going to be prepared in my house often. 🙂
This was delicious! Made it for 7 people tonight and everyone raved about it.
Does the zest of lime go with the flour?
Made this for dinner tonight and loved it. My husband had bought salmon for us for dinner and I wanted to try something new. We both loved how it came out. This is a keeper and I will make it again. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was not hard to make would be a great main course when we have guests.
Loved this so much. This is gonna be my go to salmon recipe especially for Sunday dinners. Made it last week and making it again today. So quick, yummy and easy.
The recipe for Honey Glazed Salmon was amazing and very simple to follow. The lime honey glaze was the icing on the top of the cake. One thing I added was putting brown sugar on the salmon after the flower and honey drizzle. I also added some of the glaze to the salmon before putting it in the over. I normally do not care for salmon, but I loved it prepared this way. The rest of my family said this tasted like it was made in a restaurant. Thank you for sharing your recipe with all of us.
Lived up to the sites name; damn delicious! I used a local raspberry honey too that made it that much better! Thanks for the recipe!
Great recipe. Much easier than I thought it would be to prepare. Thank you!
Do you put the flour and honey on both sides before cooking?
I don’t have lime.. but I do have lemon.. Will it work out?
Sure!
I have been trying to make the perfect salmon for the past two years, and although it always comes out good it’s never perfect. With this recipe I’m finally able to make it! My kids devoured this and they normally skip the salmon altogether when I make it. Now I know to make a lot more when I use this recipe. Thanks for posting!
This recipe is definitely damn delicious thank you much for sharing.
That’s what we love to hear!
I have made with salmon and loved. This time Made with steelhead trout and was again delicious, decreased the cooking time a little because the trout was thinner.
