About this Salmon

I love a hearty salmon filet. Not only is it good for you and melt in your mouth soft, but it's incredibly easy to cook, absorbs so much flavor, and pairs well with so many sides! You can even enjoy it with a crispy skin if you like contrasting textures.

This Baked Asian Salmon is the perfect salmon recipe. It's marinated and topped with a deliciously sweet and tangy sauce that's so simple to make.

Pair with your favorite vegetables, some rice, or a salad and enjoy! This makes a great dinner for one, two, or the whole family. If you make this salmon and LOVE it, you may also love this Trader Joe's Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry or these Honey Teriyaki Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with similar flavor profiles.

Recipe Ingredients

• Salmon: I buy mine from Costco and it's HUGE (Typically around 1.5 lbs)! An incredibly great value for the price
• Spicy Honey: I love Mike's Hot Honey. You can substitute regular honey or maple syrup, too.
• Hot Sauce: I recommend the spicy Chili Pepper Sauce from Trader Joe's.
• Soyaki Sauce: I get mine from Trader Joe's. You can also substitute teriyaki sauce.
• Cornstarch: This will help thicken our sauce. You can also use arrowroot powder for a gluten-free option.

How to Make This Recipe

1. Let's start by making our marinade. I like to do it in a plastic bag that I will add the fish to. Add soyaki sauce, hot honey, and hot sauce to the bag and mix together.
2. Add your salmon filets and marinate for 6-8 hours (overnight or up to 18 hours is also fine).
3. When you're ready to make the salmon, preheat to 425°F. Place salmon on a parchment lined baking pan or oven safe dish, saving the extra marinade in the bag.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon). You want to reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
5. While salmon is cooking, pour the remaining marinade in a saucepan and turn to medium heat. Note: If you'd like extra sauce, you can add more of each ingredient.
6. Add cornstarch and turn the heat up to a boil, stirring constantly. After sauce reaches boiling, turn it to medium-low heat and let thicken.
7. Once salmon is cooked, remove from the oven and top with your sauce. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

Buying quality salmon will make a real difference in this recipe. Sometimes it’s hard to find fish without small bones in it. I find that Costco has really great quality fish for an affordable price.

Depending on the types or brands of sauces you use, they might combine slightly differently. Feel free to add a little more cornstarch or arrowroot powder to make the sauce to thicker.
