Honey Glazed Ginger Garlic Salmon (gluten-free, dairy-free, high protein)

Asian Honey Glazed Ginger Garlic Salmon – it’s light, incredibly delicious, and will melt in your mouth.

How did I meet my husband? That’s a question I often get asked on Instagram DM. It’s a pretty good story and one that will have you believing in fate and destiny.
Honey Glazed Ginger Garlic Salmon - gluten-free, dairy-free, high protein

It was back in August 2005 when I was single and ready to mingle, I attended a 3-night NETIP Annual Conference held in Atlanta with a friend. NETIP is the Network of Indian Professionals and a good opportunity to meet people with similar Indian backgrounds.

The Meeting

One evening at an event, this tall, dark, and handsome man came and sat directly across from me. We exchanged glances, but we didn’t speak. There was an instant connection that both of us felt and I remember it like it was just yesterday.

Later that evening I ran into him again, but this time we spoke. He was charismatic, outgoing, and full of life, I, on the other hand, was shy, introverted, and reserved. It was a whirlwind romance in the making and we were inseparable for most of the conference.

The Issue

After the 3-day event was over, our connection was obvious, but we both had reservations about the distance. He was from Orange County, California, and I was from New Jersey. I didn’t know how I was going to pull off a long-distance relationship when I needed to get permission from my mom to do ANYTHING at that time!

Once I returned home to NJ, I told my closest friends about him and we already started imagining the wedding and my life in Laguna Beach with him. By this point, you may be wondering why Laguna Beach? Well, back then I was obsessed with the MTV reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Clearly, I jumped the gun there even though we never really even dated.

Distance and timing kept us from moving forward at that time. My life took a completely different turn… but fate and love would lead me back to him exactly 10 years later.

How we ended up together is beyond anything I ever imagined. How things turned out the way they did puzzle me to this day. More on part 2 of this story… next week! I’m leaving you with this delicious Honey Glazed Ginger Garlic Salmon that my husband loves. Salmon is our favorite dish so naturally, I had to share this recipe while sharing our love story. Hope you guys love it.

    This is one of my favorite ways to cook salmon! What a fantastic recipe. The only changes I made was adding a bit more sriracha (spicy lover over here;) and marinating the salmon in the fridge for a few hours prior to cooking. I think this intensifies the flavor and would highly recommend taking this extra step if you have the time! Thanks Honey Whats Cooking!!

      Hi Emel. Thanks for the compliment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I too have marinated this dish 3-4 hours before and it’s very juicy. You are absolutely right! Most of the time tho I just cook it right away since I am impatient. 🙂

    I am a little confused. I am looking for a gluten free recipe. How is this recipe gluten free when it has soy sauce in it??!!

    Reply
    • honeywhatscooking says

      August 1, 2019 at 11:37 am

      In the recipe card, this indicates using gluten-free soy sauce. I love the SANJ brand, you can find their products at Whole Foods. Also, if you go to any Asian grocery store, you should have no trouble finding gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Hope that clears it up.

    I tried this marinade/recipe with chicken because I didn’t have any salmon and was too lazy to go get some lol. But it was amazing!! It turned really well and I just added some stirfry veggies and quinoa on the side. It was great and I’m excited to try it with salmon next time!

    Tried this a few days ago and have to say this is my favorite salmon recipe that I’ve tried so far! The flavors came together so well! I air fried the salmon with parchment paper instead of baking it, and i think that kept the flavors in really well too. Thanks Nisha for an amazing recipe!!

    Made this tonight and it was delicious! I may have been a bit heavy handed with the ginger and garlic (it’s the desi in me, lol) but it was still yummy! Even my picky kids approved!

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠
⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
