A salmon fillet baked in foil has an Asian flavor thanks to a sweet and salty blend of honey, soy, garlic, and ginger.

Reviews
Really tasty salmon, and easy to make too. I used thick center-cut filet pieces, and even so, they didn’t need the full cook time. I baked the salmon for 15 and broiled for 2, but next time I would bake 13, then broil for 2. Or maybe just bake uncovered the whole time for some nice color. Regardless, it was delicious and I’ll make it again.
A definite keeper. Easy, quick and flavorful. I substituted red pepper flake for the sriracha sauce. I omitted the sesame seeds and onion garnish. I also divided my piece of salmon into individual portions and wrapped them separately in individual foil packets. I will make this again soon.
