Instructions

1. 1Mince the garlic and ginger, slice the green onions, and measure all ingredients. Cut the salmon into 8 equal portions (about 5–6 oz each).
2. 2Combine the honey, soy sauce, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly for 2–3 minutes until the honey dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, garlic, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes until fully combined. Reserve ¼ cup of sauce in a small dish for serving; set aside.
3. 3Tear 8 sheets of foil (each about 12 × 14 inches) and lay flat on your work surface. Place one salmon portion in the center of each sheet and season lightly with salt. Spoon the honey sesame sauce evenly over each piece, using the back of a spoon to spread it across the top and sides.
4. 4Fold each foil sheet over the salmon to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent any sauce from leaking.
5. 5Arrange the foil packets on a large baking sheet (or two sheets if needed) and bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
6. 6Carefully open each foil packet (watch for escaping steam) and transfer the salmon to a broiler-safe pan or sheet. Broil under medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes, watching constantly, until the sauce caramelizes and the top turns golden brown.
7. 7Divide the broiled salmon evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot. Drizzle each portion with the reserved sauce and top with sliced green onions.
8. 8Seal containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a 325°F oven for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.
