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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable, and brush half of the glaze evenly over the salmon.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, before serving.
Step 7
Serve the sweet and spicy salmon with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
