Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Broiler: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. (2 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. (1 minute)

03

Step
3 mins

Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, sesame seeds, and cayenne pepper until well combined and the honey is dissolved. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Glaze the Salmon: Generously brush the soy-ginger glaze over the entire surface of the salmon fillet, ensuring it's evenly coated. (2 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Broil the Salmon: Place the baking sheet with the glazed salmon under the preheated broiler. Broil for 8-12 minutes, or until the top of the salmon is a rich golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). (8-12 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Baste and Finish (Optional): Remove the salmon from the broiler. If desired, baste the top of the fillet with any pan drippings for extra flavor and moisture. For a deeper glaze, turn the broiler off and preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Return to the preheated oven and bake until fish has a rich, dark brown glaze and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the baking sheet. If desired, the skin can be removed before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

For an extra layer of flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the glaze.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor won't be as vibrant.
Watch the salmon carefully under the broiler to prevent burning. The cooking time may vary depending on your broiler.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
Serve with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
