Rich soy and hoisin glaze with ginger, lime, and a whisper of heat coats salmon fillets that finish under the broiler until the edges caramelize and the flesh stays tender. The sauce thickens into something sticky and deeply savory, worth every minute of your time.

Ingredients

4 servings

11/2 cup brown sugar
11/3 cup soy sauce
12 tablespoons hoisin sauce
12 tablespoons peeled and sliced ginger
1Dried red pepper flakes
11/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
11 tablespoon fresh lime juice
11 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillets

Instructions

Place the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes, garlic, and lime juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan.
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.
Preheat the broiler.
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.
Remove the salmon from the heat and baste once more with the glaze before serving.
