But you guys. When I say simple, I really mean SIMPLE.
This salty sweet glazed salmon is making me look all fancy and it can do the same for you, and then you’re all like I’mmm so fan-saay, and I’m all like you already know. We jive.
In addition to being awesome-sauced and lovingly brushed with my favorite of all the flavors, the salmon and its clingy hoisin glaze go perfectly on a plate of fresh, vibrant veggies tossed with some sesame oil and lime juice. Say hello to your fresh self because I’m 99 million percent sure that you will have a clean eating healthy fresh feels-me-so-good kind of glow about you by the time you lick this plate clean.
SIMPLE HOISIN GLAZED SALMON
Prep time:

Serves: 4
Recipe Modified from: pinchofyum
Ingredients
- ½ cup Sans J gluten free soy sauce
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 limes
- 1 lb. salmon - wild caught if you have access to it
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- To make the hoisin glaze, puree the Sans J gluten free soy sauce, water, hoisin, garlic, ginger, honey, and juice of one lime in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a skillet over medium high heat. Simmer until the mixture reduces to a syrupy consistency that will stick to the salmon when brushed on. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the salmon into four pieces. Pour the sesame oil in a baking dish (I'd recommend nonstick) and arrange the salmon in the pan. Brush the salmon with the a thin layer of glaze, reserving the rest of the glaze for later. Bake for 15 minutes; remove from oven, brush with glaze again, and bake for another 15 minutes. When the salmon is done (it will be firm and flake apart easily) remove from oven and brush with the glaze one more time before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you want to be fan-say.
Notes
I served this with a simple little salad (spinach, carrots, edamame, cilantro, and peanuts) tossed with sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and a touch of honey.
Nutrition information only includes about two-thirds of the glaze - I found that we didn't actually use all of it, but I kept the measurements the same for the recipe because I would rather you have a little extra glaze to deal with instead of not having enough.
