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.

Hi! I am making one of your salmon recipes this Monday night for Rosh Hashanah for some people, and I was wondering if there’s a way to combine the Honey Glazed Salon and the Honey Salmon in foil? I need to cook in foil because I’m worried making salmon will stink up my apartment. Which sauce would you suggest, the lime or the brown butter?
You can’t go wrong with either! 🙂
I just made this for dinner–it’s fantastic! Thanks so much!
looks so good! i love salmon but i’ve never tried cooking it with honey. ill have to give it a go soon
This is so freakin’ delicious. I don’t even like salmon but I had some in the freezer so I tried this recipe and WOW. Its great. I’m about to go in for my third piece… in one sitting… Don’t judge me. It is amazing as is but I added some Sriracha to the butter sauce for the second one which I highly recommend if you like a little heat. THANKS!
Made this last night-so good!! Perfect pairing of flavors. Cooking time was just right too. Thanks! 🙂
I’ve made this twice (in less than two weeks, because it’s so damn delicious) and both times I took the skin off the salmon. Do you leave it on?
You can leave it on or off – it’s really based on personal preference.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was incredible! I will definitely be making it again! Thanks for such a great and simple recipe!
I made this yesterday and you were NOT KIDDING about that browned butter sauce! I wanted to drink it! Absolutely delicious recipe, and the pan-searing worked perfectly.
Fellow readers: don’t skip salt in the sauce, it really makes the lime pop.
Thank you so much for this recipe and blog!
Ooooooo… this looks so good Im making it tonight!
Just when I thought your salmon recipes couldn’t get any better (I’ve tried 4 of them so far) I tasted this! I don’t know if it’s my new favorite because of the delicious, crunchy honey bottom, or the lime garlic sauce. (or the fact my husband made it before I got home!) Thank you for all your delicious, easy recipes. You are my favorite chef!
This looks awesome gonna try toDay. Thinking of using this for a catering job. Will this salmon hold well?
It should be fine but this is really best when served immediately.
So amazing! I made this a month or so ago and my husband and I absolutely loved it! Last week my husband and I were talking about eating out and what sounded good and my husband said he had some really really good salmon and he couldn’t remember where and then he realized it was at home…. with your receipe! 🙂 thanks for helping me look like a chef.
This is amazing! Thank you for the recipe
Oh my god this is amazing! I’ve eaten it two days in a row and I’m pretty sure I’m eating it for dinner tomorrow too!
Did you forget about the garlic in the recipe?????? Where does that come in????
The garlic comes in the second step:
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.
what did I do wrong?! When making the brown butter sauce, I had it perfectly brown foam subsided, I added the lime juice and it exploded! And burned resulting in a black butter mess all over… 🙁
Unfortunately I cannot answer what went wrong as I was not in the kitchen with you. And the addition of lemon juice should certainly not create an “explosion” – perhaps your heat source was set too high?
I made this tonight and it was do delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
I love your site and have tried many many things and all of them I love. Did this one tonight and it did not disappoint, I loved the sweetness to this the butter sauce is what made it super tasty and sweet
Sounds fantastic… always looking for a way to make Salmon!
Tried it and it was delicious!
