Broiled Rosemary Honey Salmon Recipe

This Broiled Rosemary Honey Salmon recipe takes less than 15 minutes to put together, with only 6 ingredients. It’s a life saver for a busy weeknight cook!

We’ve been making a version of this broiled rosemary honey salmon recipe for years. In fact, I’ve probably made this healthy salmon recipe, or a version of it, more than any other fish recipe over the years.

Why? Because it’s dead simple and I always have the ingredients, or something close to them, available in my fridge and pantry.

If I don’t have rosemary, I substitute fresh thyme. Out of honey? Agave will do the trick. Not a shallot to be found? A mixture of diced onions and minced garlic works just as well.

How to make this rosemary honey salmon recipe:

• While I call for skinless salmon fillets in this recipe, skinless can also be used. The salmon will easily separate from the skin once cooked.
• Pat the salmon dry before placing on the baking sheet. This will allow the glaze to adhere to the salmon as much as possible.
• Stir together all of the glaze in a small bowl, then brush or spoon it onto the salmon.

How to tell when salmon is done:

• Insert a small, sharp kitchen knife into the thickest part of the salmon fillet.
• Hold the knife there for 10 seconds.
• Carefully place the flat side of the knife blade on your upper lip or inner wrist. If it’s very warm (you don’t want it to be scorching hot), the salmon is done.

Side dishes to serve with salmon:

Warm Kale Salad with Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms
Baked Cauliflower Casserole with Goat Cheese
5-Minute Spicy Stir-Fried Cabbage
Toasted Brown Rice with Mushrooms & Thyme
