Description
You can make this tender, flaky Texas Roadhouse Style Baked Salmon at home in just 25 minutes. This easy recipe uses a sweet and savory glaze to give you that restaurant flavor for a quick, healthy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for that smoky flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps you get a better texture.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika until well combined. This is your sweet and savory glaze.
- Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. You want the salmon to be cooked through and flaky.
- Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
- For extra flavor and a slightly crisp top, you can place the salmon under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve your moist and juicy salmon immediately with your favorite sides for a perfect family friendly salmon meal.
Notes
- For crispy skin salmon, place the fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and do not flip them during cooking.
- If you prefer a lemon herb salmon flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the glaze mixture.
- This recipe works well for air fryer salmon too; cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
