Glazed Salmon with Butter and Honey

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

This salmon was truly amazing. I found so many recipes online, but this one seemed to really bring out the best of the salmon. Butter for richness, honey for sweetness and garlic and thyme for a savory element and a little brightness for the chili flakes.

What I really enjoy about this recipe

This glazed salmon is really good the night it’s cooked, but it’s also great the next day. Flake it into salads, or just eat it cold right out of the refrigerator. Multiple meals from one recipe.
