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.

I just made this for myself for dinner because my husband “hates salmon”. I only got a few bites because he kept stealing it off my plate! I paired it with the cilantro lime rice from your shrimp and rice recipe and it was AMAZING! My husband even asked for it for dinner tomorrow. THANK YOU!! 🙂
We just finished our dinner. Your recipe was fantastic, totally different from what we’re used to cook here in Greece. The sweetness of the honey, which was caramelized on the salmon made made a great combo with the butter-garlic sauce which was added on top. We served it with a classic maroulosalata (Greek lettuce salad) and we really enjoyed it.
Excellent recipe. Congrats!
Panos and Mirella
We are hosting a dinner for the break fast (Yom Kippur). Was looking for another great way to make salmon and this looks fantastic.mwill be trying it Wednesday for a BIG crowd. Thank you and will look forward to following you and your delish recipes. #winningmoneyalwayshelps
Wish I had a wulf oven, I have a Thermador convection which I will be using.
This looks amazing! Tonight my family will have an interesting with your dish, CHUNGAH! Thank you!

You make me so hungry ! perfect recipe and perfect pictures too. I’m gonna try it tomorrow! Thank you for sharing!
Made this for my family and the are still asking when I’m going to make it again. Tonight’s the night!
I love this recipe. Thanks
I added a little more honey since I prefer the sweeter flavor. I would also not add the 3 Tbsp. of marinade until the salmon is almost done because my liquid burned. Otherwise it was delicious and I’m happy to have a go to recipe for salmon glaze.
Thanks for sharing. Great recipe
Made this today. Everyone loved it. Next time on the grill.
Made this for dinner tonight. Really enjoyed it. The buttery sauce smelled and tasted wonderful. Thanks a lot for this recipe!
The perfect weeknight meal…made in a matter of minutes and packed a wonderful assortment of flavor! Highly recommended!
When you placed it in the oven, what did you use? Baking dish or sheet?
I used an oven-proof skillet, but a baking dish or baking sheet will work just fine.
What type of flour would you recommend for gluten free? Looks delicious!
You can use gluten-free flour.
Where has this glaze, or sauce been all my life? My 4 favorite loves…salmon, butter, garlic and lime. So delicious! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be making this often.
THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST SALMON EVER!!!!! DAMN DELICIOUS!!!!
Is it just me or did anyone else’s while house full with smoke???? Why add the honey before you sear both sides??? What a disaster.
It may just be you – I didn’t have any issues with smoking and I have made this at least a dozen times now. Perhaps your heat source is set too high?
I never comment on anything ever, but love your recipes they are always so easy. I also love how you never use ridiculous ingredients that no one has ever heard of. I don’t cook often but when I do it always seems to be one of you recipes. This one was amazing. My husband thanks you!
Has anyone ever tried this with lemon instead of lime? I’m in a time crunch and can’t get my hands on limes but would love to make this!
Divine! My kind of recipe. Easy to prepare & beautiful to present. My tastebuds sang a delicious symphony & my husband was utterly impressed with the flavours. Thank you!
Making this tonight!
