# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Hot Honey Sauce

01 - 60 ml honey
02 - 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
03 - 15 ml soy sauce
04 - 56 g unsalted butter, divided
05 - 30 ml lemon juice
06 - 80 ml water
07 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 15 ml water (slurry)

→ Salmon

08 - 4 salmon filets
09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Pepper, to taste
11 - 60 ml olive oil

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - In a saucier over medium-low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, 42 g of unsalted butter, lemon juice, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Remove from the heat and blend in the cornstarch slurry, ensuring a smooth consistency. Return to medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
03 - Whisk in remaining 14 g of cold butter until incorporated. Transfer sauce to a container and allow to cool slightly.
04 - Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon filets on the tray, season with salt and pepper, and brush each filet with olive oil.
05 - Bake salmon on the prepared tray for 15 minutes.
06 - Remove salmon from oven and spoon 15–30 ml hot honey sauce over each filet, letting surplus drip onto the tray. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for 5 minutes until caramelized.
07 - Serve salmon over steamed rice, drizzle with extra hot honey sauce, and garnish as desired.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Monitor the sauce while simmering to prevent scorching; the glaze should thicken but remain pourable.
