Make this restaurant-quality Texas Roadhouse Style Baked Salmon at home. This easy recipe delivers incredibly moist, flaky salmon fillets with a sweet and savory glaze, ready in 30 minutes for a perfect weeknight dinner or impressive meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush this seasoning mixture evenly over the top and sides of the salmon fillets.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and onion powder to create the glaze.
  5. Brush half of the glaze mixture over the seasoned salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is nearly cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
  8. Return the salmon to the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete, healthy fish dinner.

Notes

  • For crispy skin salmon, place the fillets skin-side down on a wire rack set over the baking sheet before baking.
  • If you prefer a garlic butter salmon flavor, add 1 minced clove of garlic to the glaze mixture.
  • This recipe works well for air fryer salmon; cook at 380°F for 10-12 minutes, glazing halfway through.
