Ingredients for Asian Glazed Salmon

  • Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • Dried Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • Salmon Fillets

How to Make Asian Glazed Salmon

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens into a glaze, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Preheat your broiler to high.
  5. Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) on a broiler-safe pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.
  6. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the Asian glaze.
  7. Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with additional glaze halfway through.
  8. Remove from the broiler and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining glaze.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
