Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) Center cut salmon fillets
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 cup Honey
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
2 teaspoons Sriracha optional
2 Garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon Cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a heavy, rimmed baking sheet with foil and place in the oven to preheat for at least 5-6 minutes.
While the pan is preheating, mix together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add in the cornstarch slurry. Boil for 1 minute until thickened. Remove from heat. Pour about half of the glaze into a separate small bowl. Set aside.
Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper.
Once the pan is hot, carefully remove from the oven and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Using tongs, place salmon fillets skin side down on the preheated baking pan. Brush ½ of the glaze onto the tops and sides of the salmon and return the pan to the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is flakey and just cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 140℉. You can reglaze and broil the salmon for the last minute or two of the cooking time to get a deeper color on the glaze if desired.
Brush the salmon with the remaining glaze and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds, serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Leftover salmon is best if eaten cold, but could be reheated in a low oven or microwave.
