Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6-8 oz each) Norwegian salmon fillet
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Sriracha
- 2 cloves (minced) Fresh garlic
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the Norwegian salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until combined and smooth.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly sear the salmon fillets, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp. Use a spatula to transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Generously brush the glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving a small amount for later.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.)
For an extra caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil mode and broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush them lightly with the remaining glaze.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top of each fillet for garnish.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
