Sweet and spicy honey jalapeno salmon! The perfect 20-minute dinner to serve over a salad or with your favorite side dish.

Honey Jalapeno Salmon
Salmon is a weekly staple in our house so I’m always looking for different ways to prepare it. During the week I want a recipe that’s quick, yet flavorful, and that could pair well with a simple veggie side dish.
This spicy salmon is the perfect 20 minutes meal. The salmon fillets are seared until crispy, then cooked in a delicious honey jalapeno butter sauce.

How to make honey jalapeno salmon
The ingredients for this recipe are so minimal, and likely ones you already have around! Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious salmon recipe:
- Salmon fillets- you can use skinless, or keep the skin on depending on your preference
- Basic spices, like paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper
- Butter- feel free to use a dairy-free butter if needed
- Honey- regular honey works great, but I like taking it up a notch by using a hot honey
- Jalapeno pepper
- Fresh lemon juice
- Chopped parsley
The simple jalapeno butter sauce pairs so well with the crispy salmon. It’s truly the perfect weeknight meal.

This recipe is easy to make, so delicious, and the perfect way to spice up your salmon! If you’re looking for more fish recipes, be sure to check out the other salmon recipes I have on my blog and Instagram.

I made this for my parents, and we all really enjoyed it. I did add green onions in with the jalapeños, and replaced the fresh parsley with fresh cilantro simply because I like it more. But this is a good recipe and will be making it again.
So glad you enjoyed it, Stewart!
