How to Make Asian Glazed Salmon
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) on a broiler-safe pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.
- Brush the salmon fillets generously with the Asian glaze.
- Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with additional glaze halfway through.
- Remove from the broiler and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining glaze.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
