This vibrant Asian glazed salmon is a fantastic choice for a nutritious mid-week meal. The combination of salty soy sauce, zesty lime and warming ginger creates a deeply savoury glaze that caramelises beautifully under the grill. By using brown sugar and hoisin, the sauce achieves a thick, syrupy consistency that coats the tender fish perfectly, offering a restaurant-quality finish at home.
As a heart-healthy dish, this recipe is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein.

Ingredients for Asian Glazed Salmon
120ml brown sugar
80ml soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peeled and sliced ginger
Dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 to 900g salmon fillets
How to make Asian Glazed Salmon
Place the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes, garlic, and lime juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce forms a glaze. Set aside.
Preheat the grill.
Place the salmon fillets on a grill pan and baste with the sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes. Grill them until cooked through, about 8 minutes, basting again with the glaze.
Remove the salmon from the heat and baste once more with the glaze before serving.
