This Sweet and Spicy Chili-Glazed Salmon offers the perfect balance of flavors. The sweetness of honey complements the heat of chili flakes, creating a glaze that clings beautifully to the tender, flaky salmon. It’s an easy yet elegant dish, ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets

• ¼ cup honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili flakes

• 2 garlic cloves, minced, and 1 tsp grated ginger

• 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking

• Sliced green onions and lime wedges for garnish

Directions

• Make the Glaze: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, garlic, and ginger until well combined.

• Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes.

  

• Apply the Glaze: Flip the salmon, brush the top with the glaze, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is flaky.

• Caramelize the Glaze: Increase heat slightly to let the glaze bubble and caramelize for 1-2 minutes.

  

• Serve: Plate the salmon with rice or vegetables, and garnish with green onions and lime wedges.
