Honey Garlic Salmon Baked in a Foil

Fish doesn’t have to be complicated. A lot of times, I’m told that there’s worry about cooking fish wrong, overcooking fish, undercooking fish, or just not liking how it tastes after it comes out. Well, I’m here to help you out! This Honey Garlic Salmon is so easy to make and it’s a crowd pleaser! I mean, who doesn’t like honey garlic? 

This honey garlic salmon is baked in a foil as it helps keeps the delicious honey garlic sauce on the salmon itself while it’s baking, as well as keeps the salmon moist. I end with a quick broil to add some extra colour to the salmon but that’s up to you. Oh, and baking the salmon in foil makes the cleaning up part easy as pie.

Also, just a note before I get to the recipe: I use a whole head of garlic for this honey garlic salmon. I love garlic and will never not use twice the amount a recipe usually calls for in cookbooks soooooo you’ve been warned! If you rather have a more mild garlic taste, I’d suggest using 3-4 cloves instead. I have four more super easy salmon recipes to try out as well if you prefer something less garlicky.

What You’ll Need To Make baked honey garlic salmon in foil

  • butter
  • honey
  • garlic
  • soy sauce
  • sockeye salmon

How To Make This Easy honey Garlic Salmon

  • Heat the oven to 375F.
  • In a sauce pan, mix together the butter, honey, garlic, and soy sauce until combined. Bring it to a simmer and allow it to simmer for up to 2 minutes.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a big sheet of aluminum foil inside of a baking dish, skin side down. Season the surface of the salmon with a pinch of salt.
  • Reserve a couple spoonfuls of the sauce before pouring the rest of the sauce all over the salmon fillets, making sure that everything is nicely covered. Brush the top of the salmon fillets with your reserved sauce. This makes sure that there’s enough sauce on the top of the salmon for maximum flavour!
  • Fold up the foil and place into the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, open up the salmon and turn on the broiler and let the salmon cook for 3-4 more minutes.

Tips and Notes on This Baked Honey Garlic Salmon

  • Please double check your packaging for your salmon on the correct oven temps. My box says to bake for 12-14 minutes on 375F because of the thickness of the fillets. Yours may be different!
  • As I use this honey garlic salmon as a meal prep, I only cook 3 servings at a time as that’s the maximum amount of time I’d prefer to keep salmon. I use these airtight containers to make sure the baked honey garlic salmon stays fresh.
  • Please feel free to use less garlic (or more!)
  • If you live in the US and you are interested in a meat subscription you can get Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon shipped to your door, check out Butcherbox, they have no artificial colouring, no additives, no hormones, and no antibiotics! Use “AP10” for $10 off your first box! Shipping is free.
  • I served it with a navy bean, corn, pea, and orzo salad.

Meal Prepping this Honey Garlic Salmon

When meal prepping salmon, I tend to eat it cold/chilled throughout the week – so this recipe is great if you don’t have a microwave at work. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container.

What’s That White Stuff in the Salmon?

You may have notice some white stuff on your salmon after cooking. Don’t be alarm! The white stuff is albumin, coagulated protein. It’s just protein that is being pushed out of the muscle fibres when you cook the salmon – it happens to everyone. While you may not be able to get rid of it completely, a quick brine could decrease the amount.
