Salmon is already one of the most flavorful fish out there — but brush it with a sweet and spicy glaze made from Granddaddy's Secret Sauce and honey, and it becomes something truly unforgettable. This recipe is weeknight-easy but impressive enough for company.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- 2 tablespoons Granddaddy's Secret Sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Granddaddy's Secret Sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.
- Pat salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, and place skin-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the glaze generously over each fillet, reserving a little for after baking.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze is caramelized.
- Brush with remaining glaze, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve immediately.
What to Serve With It
This salmon pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice, roasted asparagus, or a simple cucumber salad. The heat from the sauce is balanced by the honey, making it approachable even for those who don't usually love spicy food.
Tips
Don't overbake: Salmon continues to cook after you pull it from the oven. Pull it at 12 minutes and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Want more char? Broil for the last 2 minutes for a deeper caramelized glaze.
Make it a sheet pan meal: Add halved cherry tomatoes and asparagus to the pan — they'll roast perfectly alongside the salmon.
