Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 210°C.
  2. Mix honey, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic.
  3. Brush half the glaze over the salmon and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Brush with the remaining glaze and bake for 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Kitchen note: Salmon thickness varies, so check the thickest part and adjust cooking time as needed. For cured, smoked or other ready-to-eat preparations, keep fish properly chilled and follow local food-safety guidance.

Why you'll like this recipe

  • Honey gives the salmon glossy caramelized edges.
  • Savory seasoning keeps the glaze balanced rather than overly sweet.
  • The short bake makes it an easy weeknight option.

Tips for better results

  • Line the tray because sugary glaze can stick.
  • Watch closely near the end of cooking as honey browns quickly.
  • Brush on any reserved clean glaze during the final minutes for extra shine.

What to serve with it

Serve with rice, steamed greens, broccoli or a crunchy cucumber salad.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers promptly. They are especially good cold or room-temperature in a rice bowl.

Common questions

How do I keep salmon from drying out?

Use similarly sized portions, start checking near the earliest suggested time and judge the thickest piece first. Carryover heat will continue cooking the fish briefly after it leaves the heat.

Can I make this recipe ahead?

You can prepare many of the ingredients ahead, but salmon is usually best cooked close to serving. Refrigerate any cooked leftovers promptly.
