    Following are the high-level instructions for this recipe and for detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and video please check out the recipe card below.

    • Prepare seasoning mix - In a glass bowl, add garlic powder, fresh peppercorn, paprika, and salt and mix well
    • Rub the seasoning - Now add the seasoning mix to the salmon fillets and rub nicely. Make sure to coat it on all the sides
    • Pan-sear the salmon - Now in a pan with medium heat, pour oil and add the salmon fillets. Fry the fillets for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the salmon fillets and reserve them for later use
    • Make Honey Garlic Sauce - Now in the same pan with the remaining oil, add garlic, and saute until it turns aromatic. Add in the 3 tbsp of honey, and chili flakes and give a good mix. Allow the honey garlic sauce to cook for 1 to 2 minutes
    • Glaze the Salmon - Now add the fried salmon fillets and glaze them with honey garlic sauce
    • Garnish and serve - Finally, garnish the honey garlic salmon with sesame seeds and fresh parsley. And now the delicious Honey Glazed Salmon is ready for you to taste and enjoy. Serve this Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon with roasted green beans, roasted broccoli, or rice of your choice

    Tips

    • For the best flavor and taste - The honey garlic sauce and the basic seasoning used for the salmon give the best taste and flavor to this dish
    • Salmon - Always make sure to get fresh salmon which delivers juicy and fresh flavors to your dish. You can use either wild-caught or farm-raised salmon that's handy for you
    • Skin-on or Skinless - I have used skin-on salmon fillets which deliver crispy skin that also help to flip off the fillet easily. But skin-less salmon fillets can be also used to achieve similar results
    • Temperature - For pan-searing, always make sure to keep the heat medium and place the fillets once the oil reaches moderate heat. This helps the fillets to cook evenly without sticking to the bottom
    • Non-stick or cast iron - Good brand non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan can be used to make perfectly glazed salmon
    • Cooking Salmon - Do not overcook the salmon which may turn hard and dry. And I would suggest cooking the fillets for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit
    • Honey Garlic Sauce - Even though I have glazed the pan-seared salmon with honey garlic sauce, you can also marinate the fresh salmon with sauce and bake it in the oven

    Variations

    • Spicy and Savory Sauces - You can also use chili sauce, soy sauce, or hoisin sauce to make a spicy and savory taste and flavor
    • Bake it in the oven - Make honey garlic sauce and coat the seasoned salmon with the sauce and bake it in the preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for upto10 to 15 minutes. You can also broil the salmon for the final 2 minutes to achieve a charred and smoky flavor
    • Add in Orange - You can also use orange slices instead of lemon for a different flavor and taste

    Storage Suggestions

    This Honey Glazed Salmon tastes great as soon as it is prepared. But you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 2 days.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve this delicious seafood with roasted asparagus, roasted green beans, roasted broccoli, along with rice dishes such as white rice, basmati rice, brown rice or other similar dishes of your choice.
