A Simple Salmon Glaze From the Pantry
By: Roni | Posted in: 2 WWP, 2 WWPP, Dinner Ideas | 11 Comments
I pulled this together for dinner last night for some defrosted salmon fillets but it would be tasty on chicken or pork as well.
I say "from the pantry" on these ideas becuase I only used items that I try to keep on hand. Having a few staples like lemon juice, soy sauce and spices let’s me whip things up without having to hit the grocery story on a regular basis. Honestly, I’m a week behind on the shopping. I’ll be hitting that pantry hard until this weekend at least!
Here’s what I did for our salmon last night. I only made two fillets and then threw the little bit of glaze I had left on the rice. It was yummy!
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- pinch or two of salt
Mix all ingredients together and smear on salmon fillets.
I then simply cooked on a preheated non-stick skillet with a bit of non-stick cooking spray. They took about 3 minutes a side and came out with a fabulous sweet crust.
That’s what happens with you use honey! I love it!
On the side I served mixed veggies and some quick fried rice that I bulked up with onion, zucchini and carrots. It was a fabulous quick meal!

That is exactly how I want my salmon to look! Yums!
I tried this recipe tonight but because I did not have soy sauce I substituted it with teriyaki sauce. It was so easy and delicious. I loved it! Thanks Roni!
Yum! I bought salmon at Trader Joe’s yesterday and Will. Be. Making. That. Tomorrow!
That looks beautiful. Hungry now.
I saw a recipe for making salmon with an IRON. Just like making a grilled cheese – wrap in tinfoil and press with an iron. Will try it and let you know. At least no dishes to wash? Although it has been so long since I used my iron, I don’t know where it is….
Have a lovely day!
Hi Roni – this dish looks excellent and quick, looking forward to trying it! You mentioned frozen salmon – how do you defrost your fish? I find that even though I have a well-stocked freezer, I don’t always remember to take things out in time to defrost for dinner. Thanks! :-)
Christine – I normally just pull them out a few hours before dinner and defrost on the counter. If I forget, I submerge them in water in the sink, that speeds up the process.
Hope that helps!
Had that for supper last night and it’s now my favorite way to cook salmon! Delicious :)
So are the WW points for the whole recipe since the serving size varies?
Thanks!
Yup. :)
I printed it — and indeed I WAS surprised. It printed a COLOR pic. I’m a tight (poor?) old lady and never print color.
But I liked your page — and might try your recipe.
This was fantastic!! I marinated and baked the salmon with the glaze and they turned out wonderfully! Thank you.
