Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Mike's Hot Honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 inch peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 3 gloves garlic, smashed
- 4 salmon fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds
Instructions
1. The Marinade Moment:
- Whisk together coconut aminos, Mike's Hot Honey, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic
- Keep whisking until that honey dissolves into pure magic
2. The Soak:
- Place your salmon fillets skin-side up in the marinade
- Let them hang out for at least 10 minutes (30 if you're patient!)
- This is when the flavor party starts happening
3. The Heat is On:
- Fire up your broiler to high
- Line a sheet pan with parchment (easy cleanup!)
- Place salmon skin-side down
- Let it broil for 7-10 minutes until beautifully caramelized
Pro Tips!
- Room temperature salmon cooks more evenly
- Look for firm, bright-colored fillets
- Pat dry before marinating for better flavor absorption
- Keep an eye on that broiler - every minute counts!
