Description
A recipe to recreate the popular moist and flavorful honey butter salmon served at Texas Roadhouse.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or prepare your grill for medium heat.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to create the seasoning blend.
- Rub the olive oil over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the top side of each fillet.
- For baking: Place the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- For grilling: Place the salmon skin-side down on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
- While the salmon cooks, mix the melted butter, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the glaze.
- Once the salmon is cooked, brush the honey butter glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a closer flavor match, use a small amount of liquid smoke in the butter glaze if you are baking the salmon.
- Serve this salmon with a side of steamed green beans and a baked sweet potato for a complete meal.
- Do not overcook the salmon; it should remain moist inside.
