Salmon is the star of this dish, and for good reason. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is known for its heart-healthy benefits, which can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Additionally, salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health and overall wellness. When selecting salmon, opt for wild-caught varieties when possible, as they tend to have a more robust flavor and are generally considered more sustainable than farmed salmon.

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor infusion.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Bake the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.

          Glaze the Salmon: While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.

            Baste and Serve: Once the salmon is done baking, brush some of the thickened glaze over the salmon fillets. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

              Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

                Serve: Serve with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
