Equipment

Plastic storage bag or bowl
Baking sheet
Meat Thermometer
Measuring cups and spoons
Whisk
sauce pan

Ingredients

1 salmon filet (approx 1.8lbs)
1 tbsp spicy honey
1 tbsp hot sauce
½ cup soyaki sauce
½ tsp cornstarch

Instructions

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.
Add your salmon filets and marinate for 6-8 hours (overnight or up to 18 hours is also fine).
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.
Bake for 16-20 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon). You want to reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
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.
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.
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.
