easy honey sesame salmon in foil

Please See Other Recipes

If honey and garlic butter aren’t enough of a power pairing, I mixed both of those together along with beautiful Asian sesame flavours, and created the best honey sesame sauce thats gets baked all over this salmon! The juices of the salmon soak into the sauce to create one of the best salmon recipes I have on Cafe Delites! Super juicy and tender, the salmon falls apart on its own. Is there anything better?! NO!
First, you’re going to start by making the best Garlic Butter / Honey Sesame fusion you’ve ever tasted in your life. BIG CALL, I know! But it’s true! Taste test the sauce once it’s cooled right down, and you’ll see what I mean!

Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons regular soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of ½ a lemon)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 4 garlic cloves, crushed)
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
2 teaspoons Sriracha (Increase to 4 teaspoons if you like spicy)
2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
2-3 pound side of salmon (wild caught, if possible)
Salt , to season
Green onion slices , to garnish

Instructions

Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F | 190°C. Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet (or 2 long pieces of foil over lapping each other lengthways to create your salmon packet, depending on the width of you fillet).
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce and butter over low-medium heat, and whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined. Take off the heat, and add in the lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, Sriracha, sesame oil, ginger, sesame seeds and chili flakes. Transfer 1/4 cup of sauce into a small dish for serving later; set it aside.
