Spicy Honey Salmon - foil baked salmon in honey, dijon mustard and Asian chili-garlic sauce. Moist, juicy and delicious recipe for busy weeknights.
The Best Baked Salmon
This spicy honey baked salmon is the perfect baked salmon in foil. It is one of the best salmon recipes ever!
The salmon is juicy, moist, and flakes nicely. Even better, the spicy honey marinade doesn’t burn during the baking process.
Foil baking is my top choice when it comes to oven cooking.
The reasons are simple: I don’t have to wash dishes, plus foil baking makes everything taste better as it retains the original flavors of the ingredients.
Therefore, the flavors are inside the foil packet so you get the best of the marinade as well as the natural taste of the salmon.
The active time of this spicy honey salmon in foil recipe is 10 minutes. So easy and quick!
