Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets, cut into 2 to 4 equal pieces
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (not seasoned)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 small bunch scallions, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt until combined.
  3. Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet and arrange salmon fillets in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 14–18 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork or reaches 135°F–145°F internal temperature.
  5. With about 10 minutes remaining, pour the glaze mixture into a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Let the glaze bubble for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until reduced by about half and thickened. Remove from heat.
  7. Transfer baked salmon into the skillet and spoon glaze over each fillet until coated.
  8. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute maple syrup for honey for a subtle maple flavor.
  • Use coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Add orange juice and zest for a citrus variation.
  • Increase red pepper flakes or add chili oil for extra heat.
  • Store refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
