Instructions

Combine all the ingredients from lemongrass through honey in a bowl. Mix well and add the salmon. Make sure the salmon is complete coated in the marinade.
Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to broil.
Place salmon on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature is 110-125 degrees F. This will result in a medium rare salmon.
Serve with vegetables and rice.

Notes

Fully defrost your fish. This actually affects the cook time of your dish. This fish was cooked after it’s been fully defrosted. If you put a really cold salmon in the oven, it will take longer to cook.
If you have time, marinate the fish for longer. This fish tastes best when it has had more time to marinate. Typically, I like to marinate for about 1 hour. You can even marinate this salmon overnight.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.
