Instructions
Salmon Glaze
Preheat oven to 350F
Place all glaze ingredients in a blender and process until smooth (a little texture from the red pepper is okay but get that ginger blended up).
Dump mixture into a small sauce pan over medium high heat.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce turns into a thick glaze (it will cover the back of a spoon without running off).
Divide sauce in half.
Baking the salmon
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it.
Place fillets on baking sheet and coat with half of the glaze.
Bake until the thickest part of the the fillet registers 145F on an instant read thermometer, about 10-13 minutes.
With a clean spoon or pastry brush, coat salmon with reserved glaze then serve
Notes
If you don't have an instant read thermometer, cook the salmon until the thickest part of the fillet is opaque and flaky.
