Honey Glazed Salmon

This is sure to be a showstopper.

Serve this sweet-sour salmon with fresh, crisp cucumbers for contrast. Fluffy white rice would complete the meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. salmon fillet
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 c. Honey-Lime Teriyaki Sauce, divided
  • 1/4 c. rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • Cilantro, for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F. Place salmon on foil-lined baking sheet, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then spoon 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce on top and roast 10 minutes. Spoon remaining teriyaki sauce over top and continue roasting 8 minutes.

Step 2

Increase heat to broil. Baste salmon with any sauce that has fallen to sides of pan and broil until sticky and opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to dissolve. Stir in ginger then shallot and let sit 5 minutes. Add cucumber and let sit, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes. Transfer salmon to platter and, with slotted spoon, spoon cucumber mixture over top and sprinkle with cilantro.
