Smokey Sage Honey-Glazed Broiled Salmon
This delightful recipe is inspired by the Asheville Bee Charmer Cookbook, with a twist using Smokey Sage instead of Acacia Honey. If you're looking to take your usual broiled salmon to the next level, this is the recipe for you. I've searched high and low for alternatives, but nothing quite surpasses this mouthwatering dish.
To begin, gather the following ingredients:
4 salmon fillets
1/4 cup of Love A Bee’s Smokey Sage Honey
2 tablespoons of white miso
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Now, let's get cooking:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with tin foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Smokey Sage Honey, white miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be the delicious glaze for your salmon.
3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush each fillet with the honey–miso glaze. Make sure to coat both sides of the fish thoroughly.
4. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the salmon cook for approximately 10 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking. The salmon should easily flake with a fork when it's done.
5. While the salmon is cooking, you can prepare your side dishes or simply enjoy the wonderful aroma wafting through the kitchen.
6. Once the salmon is perfectly cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a moment before serving.
This Smokey Sage Honey-Glazed Broiled Salmon recipe showcases the natural flavors of the fish with a tantalizing hint of sweetness and tang from the honey-miso glaze. You can also experiment with different types of honey or even try the leftover glaze on other seafood dishes. A to-die-for shrimp stir fry over jasmine rice, perhaps? The glaze can even be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for convenience.
Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a cozy meal at home, this Smokey Sage Honey-Glazed Broiled Salmon recipe promises to make your taste buds sing and leave you craving more. Give it a try and discover the irresistible combination of flavors that will surely delight your palate. Enjoy!
Serves 4
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin (I left out)
1/4 cup white or light yellow miso paste
1/4 cup Smokey Sage Honey
1 1/2 pounds wild-caught salmon, portioned into 4 (6-ounce fillets)
Preheat the broiler and move the shelf 6 inches from the top of the over. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
To make the glaze, whisk together the sake, miso, mirin, and honey until there are no lumps. Put the salmon fillets, skin–side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the salmon fillets with the glaze.
Put the salmon in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon is browned on top and still slightly dark pink in the center. If the top browns too quickly, move the baking sheet to a lower rack and continue cooking until the salmon is done to your liking. Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately.
