The ultimate fast weeknight dinner recipe, this Honey Soy Glazed Salmon comes together in less than 15 minutes!
When you’re a busy working mom with two little boys, you need as many fast dinner recipes in your arsenal as possible. Heck, if you’re a single person home after a long day in the office or anyone with a pulse, an easy, quick meal is always a good thing – am I right?
This Honey Soy Glazed Salmon is one of those fast seafood dinner recipes I keep in my back pocket during the hectic weeknight rush. Made with a few Asian pantry staples like soy sauce, lemon juice, honey and sesame oil, the entire meal is on the table in less than 15 minutes.
We love eating it over brown rice with a side of my Japanese Quick Pickled Cucumbers or in a pita drizzled with cucumber yogurt sauce. The options are endless.
Your fork is waiting.
- 4 6 ounce - salmon filets
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chili paste optional
-
Place salmon in a large resealable plastic bag and top with all remaining ingredients. Seal bag and toss to coat evenly. Marinade in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
-
Pre-heat broiler to high and prepare a broiler pan with foil or cooking spray. Place salmon in a single layer and broil for 3 minutes. Flip salmon and broil on the 2nd side for an additional 3 minutes.

Do you think you could cook a chicken breast in the same manner? I love salmon, but I am only only one in my house who does.
Liz DellaCroce
Yes for sure!

Salmon is literally one of the best creations ever. I’m pretty sure I could eat it every night if I had the chance. Especially with a honey soy glaze! :)
