Equipment Method Notes

Equipment

  • Small baking sheet or oven-safe skillet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the hot honey glaze.
  4. Brush the olive oil lightly over the salmon fillets. Then, spoon or brush the hot honey mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
  5. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until it flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary based on your oven.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. This pairs well with microwaved rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

If you do not have an oven, you can cook this in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 4 to 6 minutes per side, brushing the glaze on during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent the honey from burning.
