Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds
For the Sauce:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and let salmon come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and arrange salmon fillets skin side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Brush the fillets with olive oil and evenly season with salt, pepper, paprika and chili powder. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and red pepper flakes. Bring a boil, then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until sauce has thickened.
- Top the salmon with half of the glaze, reserving the rest for later.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, adding more glaze on top of the salmon halfway through. You'll know the salmon is cooked when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven and top with any remaining glaze right before serving. Top with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
