Description
Simple recipe for salmon fillets coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika to create the glaze.
- Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot fillets.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can broil the salmon for the last minute after glazing to caramelize the sauce slightly.
- Use your preferred type of hot sauce, such as sriracha or a cayenne-based sauce.
- If you do not have apple cider vinegar, white vinegar works as a substitute.
