Honey-Ginger Glazed Salmon

Honey is the oldest sweetener humans have used, gathered from wild hives in cave paintings eight thousand years old. Paired with bright ginger, it lacquers salmon into a quick, glossy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• Sliced scallions and sesame seeds to finish

Method

1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan.
2. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, olive oil and sesame oil into a glaze.
3. Set the salmon on the pan, brush generously with half the glaze, and roast 10–12 minutes until just opaque.
4. Brush with the remaining glaze and finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
5. Scatter with scallions and sesame seeds and serve over rice.
