  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Hot Honey Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra depth)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prep the Salmon
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
  2. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Make the Hot Honey Glaze
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  2. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
3. Cook the Salmon

Stovetop Method:
5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
7. Brush the salmon generously with the hot honey glaze and let it caramelize for 1 minute before removing from heat.

Oven Method:
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes.
7. Brush with hot honey glaze in the last 2–3 minutes of baking.

4. Serve & Garnish
  1. Drizzle any extra glaze over the salmon before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds (optional).
  3. Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes.

Notes


  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
  • Swap hot sauce for chili paste for an extra kick.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor profile!
