A restaurant-worthy dinner that’s bursting with comfort and flavor — caramelized honey garlic salmon fillets glazed to perfection, served over velvety mashed potatoes with tender broccolini on the side. A simple yet elegant meal that feels indulgent but is easy to make at home!
🧂 Ingredients
For the salmon:
2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the mashed potatoes:
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
For the broccolini:
1 bunch broccolini
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
🔥 Directions
Prepare the mashed potatoes:
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
Cook the broccolini:
Steam or lightly sauté broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper until bright green and tender-crisp (about 3–4 minutes). Set aside.
Make the salmon glaze:
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
Cook the salmon:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Add butter and the honey garlic sauce to the pan; cook for another 1–2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon as it thickens.
Assemble the plate:
Spread mashed potatoes onto a plate, place the salmon fillets on top, drizzle with extra glaze, and serve with broccolini on the side.
