Marinade and cook your salmon with sweet heat for a special treat that is quick and easy. Perfect for Fish Friday before you head to your local High School for Friday Night Lights.
September is National Honey Month and the Foodie Extravaganza gang are celebrating......
Suddenly, Hot Honey is all the rage and I was planning on getting some chiles and making my own. Then I found this bottle of Mike's Hot Honey at the International Marketplace and decided to save myself the bother.
I purchased this hot honey for a recipe that I will be making for the Cake Slice Bakers group to which I belong. When Sue of Palatable Pastime announced the theme of this month's Foodie Extravaganza, I knew I was going to be using that Hot Honey before I had planned.
Let's take a look at what the others have brought to this party.......
- Barley Salad with Apple and Cranberry from Palatable Pastime
- Chatpata Hot Honey from Magical Ingredients
- Honey BBQ Seasoned Deviled Eggs with Bacon from Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice
- Honey Glazed Salmon from A Day in the Life on the Farm
- Honey Oatmeal Sandwich Bread from Karen's Kitchen Stories
- Kale Apple & Walnut Salad with Honey Dressing from Sneha's Recipe
My original plan was to grill this salmon, but the weather didn't cooperate, so I pan-seared it. You could also oven-bake it or broil it if you wish. The marinade is simply soy sauce, olive oil, hot honey, lime, and garlic. You use half to marinade the salmon fillets for 30 minutes and half to use as a glaze while cooking.
This recipe is wonderful with any sides that you choose. It was hot and muggy with thunderstorms on the night I made this so I chose to place it on top of a salad and call it a day.
Make sure you stop by on the 20th of this month when I share another recipe using Hot Honey. You might also enjoy these honey recipes.
