Steelhead with Sweet and Spicy Glaze

Ingredients

• Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon)
• Green onions (2, chopped)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
• Sriracha sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Honey (3 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
• Steelhead fillets (2 (6-ounce) fillets)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, and garlic powder. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, well-blended glaze.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and place the Steelhead fillets on it.
4. Using a brush, evenly coat the fillets with the sweet and spicy glaze. Make sure every inch of the fillets is covered to ensure a uniform flavor profile.
5. Season the glazed fillets with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The fish should be cooked through and should easily flake when prodded with a fork.
7. Allow the fish to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the flavors to settle.
8. Garnish your dish with the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and a pleasing aesthetic touch.
9. Serve while hot and pair with a side of steamed jasmine rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
