Spicy Honey-Glazed Salmon

Unleash the Sweet Heat: Spicy Honey-Glazed Salmon Recipe


  • Author: Marie Lavigne
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Apply the glaze: Brush the salmon generously with the honey mixture, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
  5. Bake the salmon: Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. 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.
