You will love this easy recipe for Texas Roadhouse Style Baked Salmon. We bake the fillets until they are incredibly moist and flaky, then top them with a signature sweet and savory glaze. This dish brings steakhouse flavor to your weeknight table fast.

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 Sweet and Savory Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for simple cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps you achieve better texture.
  3. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients: honey, melted butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and onion powder until fully combined.
  5. Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot fillets.
  8. Serve immediately. This salmon pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete, healthy dinner.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning the glaze.
  • If you prefer a bolder flavor, substitute the smoked paprika in the glaze with a pinch of cayenne pepper for a slight kick.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
