Main Dish: Brain Tune Honey Glazed Salmon
Brain Tune Honey is your secret ingredient to take this classic dish to a whole other level!
Ingredients:
- 3-4 6-ounce salmon fillets, thawed if frozen*
- 3 Tablespoons butter or ghee (ghee is clarified butter)
- 2 Tablespoons Brain Tune Raw honey
- ¼ Cup brown sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Lemon slices
- 3-4 Tablespoons fresh herbs (examples: chives, basil, cilantro, parsley)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- In a small saucepan, mix butter (or ghee), honey, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until melted together and smooth. Stir in salt and taste. Adjust lemon juice and/or salt to taste.
- Put salmon on a baking sheet covered with foil. Apply honey glaze to salmon. Arrange lemon slices on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through, spooning extra glaze from the foil back over salmon. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, and additional salt and pepper before serving.
*If you cook a large piece versus fillets, add at least 5-10 minutes extra cooking time. Check it after 5 minutes and estimate from there.
For a thicker glaze: This makes enough glaze to spoon over finished salmon. For thicker glaze, add ½ to 1 teaspoon cornstarch to the glaze as it melts in the saucepan. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, then brush on salmon as directed.
