Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks (chopped, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish, optional) sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the foil with a bit of olive oil so the salmon doesn’t stick.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a basting brush or spoon, generously coat the top of each salmon fillet with the chili glaze, ensuring an even layer.
Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven, about 6 inches from the broiler, and broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until the glaze has caramelized and the salmon is cooked through to your liking. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) if using a thermometer.
Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
