Ingredients

  • 2 lb salmon fillet
  • ¼ c. mayonnaise 
  • 2 Tbsp chili-crisp (lao gan ma)
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 lemon zest

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 F degrees with the rack set in the center position.
  2. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place skin-side down (if it has a skin) in a baking dish that fits it snugly (if possible). Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chili-crisp, honey and zest of one lemon. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on top of the salmon.
  4. Bake until the thickest part of the salmon flakes easily when tested with a paring knife and the topping is bubbling a little along the edges, about 15 to 25 minutes.
  5. Spoon any glaze that has run off back onto the salmon and serve.
