Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust based on heat preference)
- Optional: sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Whisk until well blended.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply the glaze: Brush the salmon generously with the honey mixture, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
- Bake the salmon: Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Marinade Option: For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before baking.
- Grilling Alternative: Instead of baking, grill the salmon over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side, brushing with extra glaze if desired.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
