This garlicky, slightly sweet Baked Honey Garlic Salmon is a one-pot meal that’s healthy and protein-packed with goodness. It’s a quick, weeknight meal made with ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS that’s low-carb and gluten-free with delicious flavor!
This salmon dinner is very close to my One Pot Honey Lemon Salmon with Asparagus recipe. This particular recipe doesn’t have the lemon. The emphasis here is on the garlic and honey. What I love about it is that it’s not too sweet.
There’s just enough honey to give it flavor and a little sweetness while keeping it low in carbs. It’s a delicious low carb meal. Plus, it’s sweetened naturally instead of using refined sugar.
Salmon is on my dinner rotation for so many reasons. It’s healthy, nutritious and filling. Also, it’s so easy to prepare and checks off so many boxes: EASY, NUTRITIOUS and DELICIOUS!
I just love cooking easy recipes for dinner. Who wants to clean up a lot of dishes or spend a lot of time prepping when you’re tired. As much as I like cooking, I never like the clean up and no one does!

Baked Honey Garlic Salmon
This recipe is also a one pan meal. Therefore, you just mix up EVOO, honey and minced garlic and pour it over the salmon and bake it for 20-25 minutes! I just LOVE how easy it is to make this recipe!
Here’s what you need to make this…
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Yes, you will need 5 cloves of garlic (or four if they’re really big cloves.) Can you use garlic powder you may be asking. Yes, you can use 1/2 tsp of garlic powder if that’s what you have on hand. I recommend using fresh garlic if you have it.
Just look at the texture and browned bits on this salmon!
Do you bake salmon covered or uncovered?
I never cover salmon when I’m baking it. It browns nicely uncovered.
How long does salmon cook at 375?
At 375F, a one pound salmon filet will take 15-25 minutes to cook depending upon the thickness. If the salmon is very thick on one side, it will take a few minutes longer.
Make a delicious, healthy salmon dinner for your family in just 30 minutes with this easy recipe! They’ll love it.

I’m glad you liked it Carla and thanks for the 5-star rating!
I was out of lemons (my go-to for salmon) so I found this recipe as an alternative. It turned out fantastic and the leftovers tasted so good as a sandwich filling the next day.
