1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peeled and sliced ginger
Dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

directions

1
Place the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes, garlic, and lime juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan.
2
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.
3
Preheat the broiler.
4
Place the salmon fillets on a broiler pan and baste with the sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes. Broil them until cooked through, about 8 minutes, basting again with the glaze.
5
Remove the salmon from the heat and baste once more with the glaze before serving.

notes

Any extra glaze will keep for weeks if refrigerated in a covered container. We serve this dish with jasmine rice and seasonal vegetables, such as sugar snap peas.
