Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces (sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush half of the glaze evenly over the tops and sides of the fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is baking, transfer the remaining glaze to a small saucepan. Heat it over medium heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over the fillets. Let it rest for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve immediately with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad, if desired.
