Ingredients
For the salmon
- 4 fresh salmon fillets I used a 1 lb. wild-caught skin-on salmon fillet about 1 inch thick and cut it into 4 pieces (See Note 1)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Trader Joe's Salmon Seasoning about 1 tsp per fillet
For the hot honey lime glaze
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Trader Joe's Hot Honey
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice + zest of one lime (about 1 tsp of zest)
- cilantro, chopped (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack 4-6 inches from the broiler. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil, then season with the salmon seasoning. Using clean hands, really rub the seasoning onto the salmon so it sticks. Arrange the salmon filets on a baking sheet or in a baking dish large enough so they are not touching.
- Broil Salmon: Broil the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer inserted at the thickest part reaches 135°F-140 (fish will continue to cook when it comes out of the oven). Check the salmon around the 3-4-minute mark. The time will vary based on how thick your filets are. Remove from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes.
- Make the glaze: While the salmon is under the broiler, in a small pan, whisk together, butter, cornstarch, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil for about a minute or until thickened. Stir in lime juice and zest.
- Drizzle: Drizzle the sauce generously onto the salmon, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve right away.
Notes
Note 1: Feel free to purchased whatever salmon fillets you like. Just note that the instructions for this recipe are based on salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick. Adjust the time accordingly based on the thickness of your salmon. This is where an instant-read thermometer comes in handy!
