Roasted salmon gets a glossy honey glaze sharpened with yuzu juice, ginger and soy sauce. The citrus stays bright because it goes on near the end.
Floral citrus cuts through the richness of Yuzu Honey Salmon without hiding the fish. A short roast firms the surface before the honey glaze goes on, giving it time to cling without scorching.
Use bottled unsweetened yuzu juice rather than yuzu syrup or a seasoned sauce. Similar-size fillets finish together; check a thinner tail piece early and lift it off the tray if it cooks first.
Method
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Pat salmon dry, coat with vegetable oil and arrange with space between the fillets.
Mix honey, yuzu juice, soy sauce and ginger in a small bowl. Roast the salmon for until the edges turn opaque.
Brush all the glaze over the salmon. Roast for another until the thickest part reaches 145°F and flakes easily. Spoon the tray juices over the fish and finish with scallions and sesame seeds.
Forkue tips
- Use a pastry brush to spread the glaze across the fillets rather than leaving it in a puddle on the hot tray.
