Asian Salmon

This Asian Salmon recipe tops healthy salmon fillets with a boldly flavored Asian glaze of hoisin sauce, garlic, and siracha.

I don’t know about you but Asian food is one of my favorite cuisines. So naturally, I wanted to bring the bold flavors of Asian food to salmon, and if you’re a fan of both as I am, then THIS Asian style salmon is the recipe for you!

With Father’s Day coming up, this is a great dish to make for the Fathers in your family!

How to Prepare Baked Asian Salmon

Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a bowl combine the garlic, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, sriracha sauce and soy sauce to make the Asian glaze. Mix to combine. Put ⅓ of the glaze into another bowl and set both bowls of glaze aside.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking oil.  

Slice the salmon into 4 fillets and place skin down on the baking sheet.

Using the bowl with ⅓ of the Asian glaze, brush a light coat of the Asian glaze on the top of each salmon fillet. Since this is raw salmon, make sure to NOT put the brush into the larger bowl with 2/3 of the glaze as you do not want to contaminate it with any bacteria that might be on the salmon. After coating the salmon fillets, discard the rest of the ⅓ bowl of Asian glaze and clean your brush.

Cook the salmon for 4-6 minutes based on every ½ inch of thickness to your liking (4 minutes on the more rare side and 6 minutes on the more done side). Test with a fork, you know it is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit so that the salmon is cooked all the way through.

Use a clean brush to top the salmon fillets with the remaining 2/3 of the Asian glaze that was reserved and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve and Enjoy!
