A short bake at high heat keeps the salmon moist and caramelizes the glaze. Mix the glaze, then divide it: some goes on the raw fish, and a clean portion is simmered into a sauce for serving. The salmon is done at 145°F (63°C), or when it flakes easily and is opaque.
Ingredients
Serves 4
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with the oil.
- Whisk the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Pour 1/3 cup into a small saucepan, whisk in the cornstarch, and set it aside; this clean portion is for serving.
- Pat the salmon dry and set the fillets on the sheet. Brush them with some of the glaze from the bowl and discard whatever is left in the bowl.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) or flakes easily and is opaque.
- While the fish bakes, bring the saucepan to a simmer over medium heat and cook 1 to 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Spoon the warm sauce over the salmon and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.
Tips and make-ahead notes
- Never reuse the brush or bowl that touched the raw fish for the finished sauce.
- Serve with rice and steamed broccoli.
- Leftover salmon keeps 2 days refrigerated and is good flaked over salad.
