About

What's wonderful about a fish like salmon is that it doesn't need much to make it delicious. A little seasoning and flavoring here and there and bam! The fatty, tender, flaky fish takes care of the rest. Sweet Glazed Salmon understands that, using its sweet, spicy, and citrus-infused honey sauce to enhance the savory flavors of the fish. This means that Sweet Glazed Salmon is both easy and fast to make so you can enjoy a top-quality fish dinner with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1 -In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
