Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon:

  • 2 lbs salmon, cut into 1-inch strips or chunks

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (or flour)

  • Olive oil or melted butter, for drizzling

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

  • ½ cup honey

  • 2–3 tbsp hot sauce

  • ½ – 3 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to your taste)

  • ¾ tsp chipotle chili powder

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Green onions, cilantro, or thyme, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Rub a sheet pan with olive oil.

  • Prepare the Salmon: Arrange the salmon strips or chunks on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Parmesan (or flour). Toss gently to coat. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.

  • Bake the Salmon: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is crispy on top and cooked through.

  • Make the Hot Honey Sauce: While the salmon is baking, make the hot honey sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Warm over low heat (do not boil).

 

  • Serve: Once the salmon is done baking, drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the salmon tenders. You can also serve the sauce on the side. If the sauce thickens, gently warm it on the stove. Garnish with fresh herbs like green onions, cilantro, or thyme. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the heat of the sauce by adding more or less cayenne pepper, depending on your preference.

  • You can use a cooking spray or non-stick spray instead of olive oil to coat the pan.

 

  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
