This Cranberry Honey Glazed Salmon is simple yet impressive, and tastes absolutely divine!! It’s zesty, sweet, savory, and flaky. It comes together in about 30 minutes.
I hope you had a WONDERFUL Christmas day! We had a great time. Our home was full with family and friend, and when I say full, I mean FULL. At first, I thought of setting up the food buffet-style, but my husband wanted a sit-down meal, so we had to buy some extra chairs and an extension to our dinner table. To make a long story short, everything worked out fantastic.
Confession time: This of being a multicultural family is exhausting! We had Portuguese, Venezuelan, and of course, American food. And even though, I had a lot of help from my relatives, I still feel like I just ran a cooking marathon.
So…
I am looking forward to a more relaxed menu for New Year Eve!
And this Cranberry Honey Glazed Salmon totally fits the bill. Easy and quick to make, and most importantly, full of flavor in every bite.
This Cranberry Honey Glazed Salmon comes together in about 30 minutes; it’s zesty, sweet, savory, and flaky.
We eat plenty of salmon around here, It’s not only super easy to prepare, but it’s also healthy and flavorful. This particular glaze is our favorite. The bourbon and cranberry juice provides a delicious tang that balances out the sweetness of honey. A bit of Paprika amps up the flavor profile, adding an irresistible smoky touch.
Have you heard about Peapod?
I always see their trucks passing through my neighborhood, but I had never tried his services until now. So when they offered me the possibility of trying their service I was immediately on board. After all, anything that makes my life easier is always welcome.
Peapod is AWESOME! I love the fact that I can save money and time by planning menus ahead, taking advantage of specials, and avoiding impulse buys.
It was quite surprising that delivery fees were about half the price of other grocery stores charges. And I can tell you that, the service they provide, It’s worth every penny.
PodPass, their subscription service, is available in 3, 6 and 12-month options. Customers pay one price for unlimited deliveries (orders must be a minimum of $100.00) within a set timeframe.

- 4 salmon fillets (about 1 lb)
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup fresh cranberries (optional)
- Dill to garnish (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice
- 2 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon smoked Paprika
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
-
In a small bowl whisk together the honey, soy sauce, cranberry juice, bourbon (if using), paprika, and garlic.
-
Place the salmon filets in a large zipped-top bag. Pour half of this sauce over the salmon fillets, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
Remove salmon fillets from the marinade and place them in the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Discard the marinade.

Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Place the remaining marinade and fresh cranberries (if using) into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat low-medium and allow to simmer for 5 - 8 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced into a glaze.
-
Remove salmon from oven and drizzle the glaze over the salmon.

Garnish with dill and serve.

The biggest advantage is the variety without the hassle of walking up and down every aisle. Preplanning is the key to saving on groceries.
Convenience is a huge plus when using peapod, plenty of days I’d rather not go to the market of any kind , knowing I can order great items shipped to my door is a huge benefit
La mayor ventaja es que los clientes pueden ordenar en línea o en la aplicación movil libre de Peapod para la entrega a los hogares y lugares de trabajo! Gracias por el sorteo! Felices fiestas!
That I don’t have to go up and down each isle looking for what I need
I’d say the biggest is freeing up time to spend with guests.
Saving time! I would love to just have my groceries delivered to my door.
That we don’t have to leave the house and order from home . Working mom of three
its delivered right to your house and you learn new recipes
The biggest advantage is how much time I would save and be able to spend more time with my family.
The biggest advantage is not getting caught without that one ingredient that you need to complete the dish you planned to make and forgot to buy because you were tired and in a hurry to get out of the store. You can shop at your leisure and review your purchases before you order.
I have no time for food shopping with 2 kids! I wish I could use Peabod all the time.
Mmmm such a delicious way to cook salmon! I love the idea of adding cranberries 🙂
I love the home delivery. It’s so convenient and I get what I need without facing the crowds and long lines at the grocery store! I’m all for anything that saves me time and money.
I love that it would save me SO much time! It’s so hard sometimes to go shopping with 3 children!
The convenience! Not having to wait in long lines at the store!!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have groceries delivered to me.
It would save time.
wow, this combination looks so appealing! I just made a huge jar of cranberry yesterday, I thought I would use it for my french toast or pancakes but salmon wasn’t ever in my mind. I’m so excited to try this out!

Made the cranberry salmon. Question is: unsweetened or sweetened cranberry juice? Very easy to make and delicious.
Hello Susan! I use sweetened cranberry juice. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it. 🙂
