Ingredients
Scale
For the Glaze:
- 5 TB pure honey
- zest of 1 lime
- 2 TB fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp Sriracha (or more if you like)
For the Salmon:
- 4 center cut salmon fillets (6–8 oz each), towel-dried to remove excess moisture
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: chopped cilantro or sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Glaze: In a small heavy saucepan, whisk together all glaze ingredients until cornstarch is fully dissolved. It’s important that no bits of gritty cornstarch is remaining, as even a tiny bit of undissolved cornstarch will result in a clumpy glaze. Turn heat on to medium high. Continue whisking and simmering until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover; keep warm.
- Cook: Grease and heat outdoor grill or indoor cast iron grill pan, until oil is smoking. Sprinkle a light layer of kosher salt and black pepper on both sides of salmon fillets. Grill salmon about 2-3 min per side over medium-high heat, or just until cooked through; don’t over cook. The key to tender salmon is removing it from heat as soon as it’s barely cooked through, as it will continue to cook a bit after removing from heat. (Actual cook time depends on the temperature of your fish prior to cooking, temperature of grill, and thickness of fillets.)
- Serve: Serve salmon immediately with warm honey-lime glaze. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.
