Asian Glazed Salmon in Foil for One
Taking the time to cook for yourself is a treat! I call it a solo date night. The key is to keep it easy prep and clean up. Just sauté a veggie and pop a sweet potato in the oven 30 minutes before the salmon and you have a delicious solo date night. Don't forget a good glass of pinot noir!
Ingredients
- 5 oz salmon, fairly thick cut cooking time may have to be altered depending thickness of fish
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar can sub dry white wine or sherry
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil olive oil can also be used but not as flavorful
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp sambal olek, or more to taste for heat You can also use Asian Chili Garlic but I use this because of my garlic allergy.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, Sambal to taste.
- Place salmon onto the prepared baking sheet and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed.
- Place into oven and bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Open the packet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
- Serve immediately, sesame seeds, if desired.
