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.

Turned out great, thanks for the recipe!!
this was delicious!!! The butter was amazing! I will put it on everything from now on!
So what if there is still skin on my fillet? Do I just leave it on and cook both sides like you say or do you take it off? Thanks!
That’s really up to you – some people love the skin and some people prefer to take it off. It just really depends on your taste preferences.
I took the skin off because I was afraid it would stick to the pan, but then I cut it into slices about 1/2″ wide, tossed them lightly in flour, drizzled w/ honey and fried them in the pan when the salmon was done.
OMG
So its recommended to put thw sauce on after cooking or could you bake it with the sauce already on?
I haven’t tried it myself but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Last night I made a version of this. I only had 15 minutes to make dinner so I made the sauce and spooned it over the salmon (I did not flour it or sear it, I simply drizzled a little honey over it prior to saucing) and baked it on a foil lined sheet pan at 400ºF with the convection turned on. Start to finish it was ready in less than 15 minutes and it was perfect. I served it with rice, salad, and the extra browned butter sauce at the table. It was delicious and super quick and easy. Thanks!
This looks really good. Do you think this receipe would work with basa fillets?
Yes, of course – but you may have to adjust cooking time as needed.
Is that 400 F CONVECTION or 375 convection and 400 regular oven?
This recipe calls for 400 degrees F using a standard oven.
Absolutely amazing! My husband and children loved it! It will be a staple in my future menu planning!
Made this last night for dinner! So yummy. Adding it to the regular menu.
Would the brown butter lime sauce pair well with chicken or pork? What about white fish?
Jessica, they all sound really great but without further recipe testing, I cannot advise on how each of these would turn out with the brown butter lime sauce.
Making this the next time we have salmon.
I made this tonight.. it was so delicious! I am so glad that I did! I Think next time I may even add a little chili powder to the sauce for a little kick!
Great Recipe, Thanks!!!
Posting in response to sweepstakes: I came home after a stressful day at work and needed a quick and easy recipe for salmon. Didn’t have it in me for long meal prep and almost caved to pizza delivery but luckilly, came across this recipe on Pinterest and it is a true winner! I already had the ingredients in my pantry and was amazed at how quickly the dish came together. I served it with brussel sprouts too. It was absolutely delicious and I have plenty of leftovers to enjoy!
This looks so delicious!
Perfect post run meal!
Just made this last night for dinner, served with rice and asparagus and it was amazing! The sauce was perfection! 🙂 This salmon is definitely part of our dinner rotation now. Thanks for sharing your recipe! 🙂
I love salmon and this looks like a recipe that I would love to try in my kitchen. Thank you for posting it.
