Asian Salmon Recipe

This Asian Salmon Recipe pairs broiled salmon fillets with a thickened soy-honey glaze infused with garlic, ginger, and hot sauce. The glaze is cooked separately and brushed on after broiling to balance savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Topped with sliced scallions, the salmon offers tender, flaky fish with a glossy, flavorful coating that complements simple preparations.

Ingredients

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

  • Heat glaze over medium-low, adding a teaspoon or two of water if it becomes too thick to brush easily.
  • Choose a hot sauce flavor that suits your taste; sriracha adds sweetness while American hot sauces are more vinegary.
  • Sesame seeds or chives can be sprinkled on the finished dish for added flavor.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for 3-4 days; reheat gently in the microwave at 50% power.
  • Freeze leftovers up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
