Honey Citrus Salmon is such an easy meal that is made in one pan and it will take you just 30 minutes. It is a delicious, healthy and hearty dish that can be enjoyed for holidays or weekend dinner. 

I love a good salmon dish, especially when its combined with refreshing citrus flavor! The touch of honey adds a nice sweetness to the overall savory dish. Bright and refreshing, this Baked Honey Glazed Citrus Salmon is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.

Also, you can cook the whole filet, or cut it into individual servings. Then, add them to foil pockets and bake.

Tips and Tricks to make the perfect One Pan Honey Citrus Salmon:

• I like eating fish, but I always try to buy wild-caught, which I highly recommend as well. Also, you can read about the benefits of wild-caught fish here.
• Run your finger over the salmon fillet before cooking to make sure there are no pin bones.
• In addition, for more enhanced flavor, I would recommend to let the salmon sit in the citrus mixture for 5-10 minutes to absorb it prior to cooking.
• Add more or less honey, adjust to your own preference.
• The garlic can be skipped, but I like the savory flavor it adds.
• When cooking salmon, it’s better to undercook than overcook. Therefore, I like to start checking a big piece like this after 15 minutes.
• When baking, it’s better to cover the salmon with foil, so it doesn’t dry out on the top and it cooks more uniformly.
• You can top the salmon with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter, to make it extra flaky and the sauce creamier.
• Add a few red pepper flakes for a spicer touch.
• Serve with rice or a green salad.
