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!

Hi – I’m planning on making this in a few hours! I just want to confirm – do we only cook this on one side while in the pan? I’m assuming so but I’d like to cook this correctly. It looks great!
Yes just one side.
Really super, although I would suggest letting the salmon rest for about 5-10 minutes after removing it from oven. There’s carryover cooking and I wait until the temperature stops rising (I take it out of the oven when the fish registers 120, and 125 for wild salmon; when the temperature stops rising then I serve it).
The flavors from the sauce were just wonderful. Not overwhelming the fish, but just nicely complementing it. Very nice indeed.
Awesome thanks for your tip!
This was soooo good! Every time I make salmon I try a new recipe, and this is absolutely the best.
