Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
Pan-seared salmon with a sticky honey garlic glaze — ready in 20 minutes
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
This honey garlic salmon is restaurant-quality and takes 20 minutes. The trick is searing skin-side down in a screaming hot pan to get crispy skin, then finishing with a sticky glaze.
The glaze caramelizes into a glistening coat of honey, garlic, soy, and a squeeze of lime.
Serve over rice with steamed broccoli for a complete dinner.
