Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 stalks (chopped, for garnish) green onions
• 1 teaspoon (for garnish, optional) sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the foil with a bit of olive oil so the salmon doesn’t stick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Using a basting brush or spoon, generously coat the top of each salmon fillet with the chili glaze, ensuring an even layer.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven, about 6 inches from the broiler, and broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until the glaze has caramelized and the salmon is cooked through to your liking. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) if using a thermometer.

Step 6

Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
