If you don’t want to invest in a sizzle platter, you can also make this recipe using a rimmed baking sheet.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    3 Servings

Ingredients

2

garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3

tablespoons fresh lime juice

2

tablespoons soy sauce

2

teaspoons honey

1

tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

½

teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for serving

3

8-ounce skin-on center-cut salmon fillets

Kosher salt

1

bunch scallions

1

Fresno chile, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, 1 Tbsp. oil, and ½ tsp. sesame seeds in a small bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and place in a resealable plastic bag; add half of marinade. Seal bag, pressing out air, and let salmon sit 30 minutes. Reserve remaining marinade.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Toss scallions with remaining 2 tsp. oil on sizzle platter; broil until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Remove salmon from marinade and set on top of scallions. Spoon some reserved marinade over and broil until salmon is charred around edges, about 6 minutes (watch closely to keep from burning). Spoon more marinade over; top with chile. Broil until salmon is charred and medium-rare at thickest part, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds.

  • So easy and so delicious! Served with a side of left over quinoa and yesterdays sweet potatoes with cinnamon. Honestly the best weekday dinner I’ve been able to put together in minutes.

  • Love this salmon!! And so did my whole family. I made the sauce in the a.m. and then it took me 15 mins to cook. This will definitely be my go to salmon. The scallions really complimented it too. Only thing I did different was no peppers.

  • Lovely dish and simple to make - didn’t use the chiles but totally fine without it.

  • The chiles were my favorite part! Don't skimp on the marinade either.
