Honey-Glazed Baked Salmon

I got this recipe from a friend and, as a new cook, it is easy to make and delicious to boot! Even when I make this recipe with fewer pieces of salmon (2 small salmon filets), I still make the same amount of honey glaze, because it is so delicious and I prefer having more sauce rather than not enough.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup honey
• ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon minced onion
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
• 4 salmon fillets
• ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix honey, green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.

Step 3

Place salmon in single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon honey mixture evenly on top of salmon; the mixture will run off, but try to coat the fish with a thin layer all over.

Step 4

Roast salmon in the preheated oven, basting salmon with the sauce at least once, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
