Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (2 pound) boneless salmon fillet
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C).

Step 2

Stir together the hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 3

Coat a casserole dish with olive oil. Poke holes in the salmon with a fork, then place into the dish. Pour reserved sauce over the fish, top with green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Bake salmon in preheated oven, uncovered, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
