INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup hot red pepper sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (2 pound) boneless salmon fillet
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Stir together the hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  2. Coat a casserole dish with olive oil. Poke holes in the salmon with a fork, then place into the dish. Pour reserved sauce over the fish, top with green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C).
  4. Bake salmon in preheated oven, uncovered, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.

This is flat out unbelievable!! I added an extra tablespoon of brown sugar (my wife doesn't like it very spicy)and used Crystal Hot Sauce. The combination of hot sauce and brown sugar makes a wonderful glaze. I didn't know hot sauce and brown sugar went so well together. DEFINATELY WILL MAKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! By far, the best salmon dish that I have ever eaten!! This recipe exceeds all other restaurant salmon, too! My sister came in town to visit and rather than go out to eat in frigid temps, we stayed in and made this dish---we were blown away by how great it tasted. Don't be intimidated by the amount of hot sauce...it really mellows with the baking. I will be adding this to my regular dishes. My kids didn't mind being guinea pigs with this recipe!

I followed the recipe directions, but I was not a big fan of the marinade. I didn't like how the hot sauce (I used Crystal) and sweetness mixed. They really overpowered the fish. My husband thought it was okay, but I won't be making it again.
