→ Hot Honey Glaze
03 - 1/4 cup honey
04 - 1 tbsp hot sauce (sriracha or similar)
05 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

07 - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
08 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

10 - 2 tbsp olive oil
11 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
12 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Garnish
13 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives
14 - Lemon wedges
# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss the radishes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spread them cut side down on half of the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Roast the radishes for 10 minutes to begin the cooking process.
04 - Whisk together the honey, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper.
06 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Move the radishes to one side and place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side.
07 - Brush the tops of the salmon fillets generously with the hot honey glaze. Reserve a small amount of glaze for serving.
08 - Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the radishes are tender and caramelized.
09 - For extra caramelization and color, broil the salmon for an additional 1–2 minutes.
10 - Drizzle the remaining hot honey glaze over the salmon. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve with lemon wedges.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The spicy sweet glaze creates this incredible sticky caramelized coating that everyone fights over
- Roasted radishes transform from sharp and peppery to something milder and slightly sweet
- Everything cooks on one sheet pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
- Dont skip the head start roasting time for radishes or they will still be crunchy when the salmon is done
- The glaze will burn if you add it too early so wait until the salmon goes into the oven
- Watch closely during the broiling phase because honey goes from caramelized to burned very quickly
03 -
- Pat the salmon really dry before seasoning to help the skin crisp up better
- Let the glaze sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it feels too thick to brush
