1–1¼ lbs salmon, cut into 4–5 oz fillets
2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
2 tablespoons honey, sugar, or pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari
½ teaspoon ginger paste or finely minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

1–2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (or other hot sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

- In a small bowl, whisk together oil, honey, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sriracha.
- Pour glaze evenly over salmon, coating well.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- For a caramelized finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end if desired.

Notes
Add lime juice for extra brightness.
Increase sriracha or add red pepper flakes for more heat.
Use more honey for a milder flavor.
Top with sesame seeds or green onions before serving.
