Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making this easy honey glazed salmon recipe.

Thicken the glaze. If desired, you can thicken the glaze as the salmon is done cooking. Just remove the salmon from the pan and cook the sauce down over medium heat until it reaches your desired thickness. Drizzle over the salmon when serving.
Can I use skinless salmon? Yes. I prefer the filets with skin on but skinless salmon filets also work in this recipe.
Spice it up. If you want to add a bit of a kick, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.
Don’t overcook the salmon. Salmon cooks quickly and overcooking it will lead to dry salmon. It’s done with you can easily flake it with a fork.
What to Serve with Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
We like to serve this honey glazed salmon with some rice and veggies. Green veggies like broccoli and asparagus are our go-to, as they’re easy to prepare and look beautiful plated with the same.

For a lower carb option, cauliflower rice or quinoa would be good replacements for the rice.

For a slightly different flavor, we sometimes add sliced green onions as a garnish as well.
