Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha or chili sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the sweet and spicy glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable, and brush half of the glaze evenly over the salmon.
Bake the salmon in the oven for 12-14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the salmon for extra flavor.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, before serving.
Serve the sweet and spicy salmon with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
