Honey is one of my favorite ingredients in the kitchen. I use honey in many of my recipes, including in the ever popular honey garlic salmon.

It makes everything tastes better, for example this sticky sweet, savory, and zesty Honey Lime Salmon on a skillet.

As the name suggests, this honey lime salmon recipe doesn’t get any easier as it calls for only a few key ingredients: honey, soy sauce and fresh lime juice.

I love buying salmon with skin on, because when I pan-fry the salmon on a skillet, the skin crisps up and makes the salmon so much more delicious. I usually cook my salmon on the stovetop and then transfer to the oven.

This ensures that we have a crispy texture at the bottom part of the salmon but the inside remains tender and juicy. This honey lime salmon is absolutely amazing; it’s one of those dinner recipes you can make over and over again!

    Great, simple and quick. Will make a lot. Salmon was 1 lb. My husband and I had microwaved Yukons as side with salad. Wonderful.

  3. Cari says:

    How many servings are suggested for this recipe. It says “Yield 1 people” but that can’t be right when it calls for 1 lb of fish.

    I had 3x 4 oz pieces of salmon and followed the recipe for the sauce. It turned out great!

    Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! We loved it! Next time I’ll make more! ?

    Made this for my family tonight and they loved it. The key was not to add too much as to not overpower the flavor of the salmon. Definitely will be making it again.

    This was a very easy and delicious recipe. I added a minced clove of fresh garlic to the marinade and also skipped the panfrying step. I baked the salmon in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, then finished it under the broiler for 2 more minutes.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Awesome, so glad that you tried the honey lime salmon recipe.
