Ingredients

Glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or a gluten-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root minced
Salmon:
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 4 salmon fillets 6 ounces each, pin bones removed
  • 4 tablespoons scallions green part only, thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat your broiler on high and position a rack 3-4 inches below the heating element (top rack). Line a large, rimmed, broiler-safe baking sheet with foil and spray it with oil. Place the salmon pieces on the foil and spray them with oil.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger, whisking to combine. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking often, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a syrup. Remove from heat.
  3. Broil the salmon until opaque and cooked through, for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the cooked salmon fillets to a serving platter. Brush them with the glaze, sprinkle them with scallions, and serve.

Notes

  • The sauce thickens fast, so heat it over medium-low heat and keep an eye on it. If it has thickened too much and is difficult to spread on the salmon fillets, stir in a small amount of water - a teaspoon or two - to thin it out. 
  • You can vary your hot sauce; sriracha adds subtle sweetness, while classic American hot sauces are more vinegary.
  • In addition to scallions or chives, you can sprinkle the finished dish with sesame seeds.
  • You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently, covered, in the microwave at 50% power. You can freeze the leftovers in freezer bags for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
