    Easy Hoisin Glazed Salmon Meal Prep

    Welcome back to another meal prep recipe from yours truly! Continuing my salmon kick (see: Sweet Chili Salmon Meal Prep), I’m back with another salmon meal prep recipe! This time, I’m sharing with you a super easy hoisin glazed salmon recipe! What’s hoisin sauce you may ask? Hoisin sauce is a sweet, spicy, dark red sauce made from soybeans, vinegar, garlic, and various spices – it’s sweet, tangy, earthy, and is one of my favourite sauces in Chinese cuisine! If you’ve ever had crispy pork, this is the sauce that they serve it with!

    What You Need to make this Easy Hoisin Glazed Salmon Meal Prep

    Ingredients for Easy Hoisin Glazed Salmon Meal Prep

    • Hoisin Sauce
    • Soy Sauce or Tamari
    • Ginger (fresh or ground)
    • Garlic
    • Honey
    • Lime
    • Salmon

    Tips for making this Hoisin Salmon Meal Prep

    • I used a garlic paste instead of minced garlic for the glaze so the glaze would stay “smooth” when brushed on
    • To max out the flavour of this hoisin salmon meal prep, I brushed on the glaze three times – at the start, half way through baking, and at the end
    • To keep things sanitary, I washed my brush and transferred the sauce each time into a separate small bowl so when I dip the brush back into the sauce, I wouldn’t be using the same brush that brushed raw salmon and cooked salmon
    • If you have more time, instead of brushing the glaze on multiple times, I’d suggest marinating the salmon in the sauce instead

    healthy cold meal prep / lunch idea for work

    • Like I mentioned earlier, this easy hoisin salmon meal prep is also the perfect cold lunch. Sometimes you don’t have time or the ability to microwave your lunch so prep this hoisin salmon with some salad and you’ll have the perfect cold lunch for work or school!
    • Other things you can prep this with without have to reheat are nuts, beans, corn, cucumbers, peas, carrots, and fruit!

    Prep Time: 10 mins
    Cook Time: 30 mins
    Total Time: 40 mins
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
    • 2 tbsp garlic paste, or 2-3 cloves of garlic
    • 1 tsp ground ginger, or freshly grated ginger
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 lime
    • 400 grams salmon fillets, or 4 fillets

    To serve the salmon with (optional)

    • spring greens
    • corn
    • edamame
    • clementines
    • sliced carrot
    • peanuts

    Instructions

    • Heat your oven to 350 degrees
    • To make the hoisin glaze, mix together the soy sauce, water, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and the juice of a lime together in a pot. Then simmer the sauce until it reduces to a thicker consistency.
    • Brush the salmon fillets with the mixture (see notes for more) before placing them into the oven to bake for 17-20 minutes.
    • To serve, I made a simple salad that consisted of spring greens, edamame beans, sliced carrot, corn, and some peanuts for an added crunch. This salmon and salad combo can be serve cold, perfect for work - just break up the salad and mix it together with the salad!

      This is such a great idea! I never think about cooking fish for the next days meal- but it’s brilliant! And I bet the flavors in that sauce make everything nice and juice either hot or cold. I want this!

      I love how you considered people who can’t heat their lunches in this recipe! It’s always such a bummer to have a delicious meal and no microwave. Fish is actually one of my favorite leftover meals when I can’t reheat my food so this is totally my jam!

      What a delicious sounding recipe. How long does the salmon bake? I didn’t see it in the recipe.

      He hates salmon…..tonight he ate this salmon and said he would eat it again. Leftovers are in the fridge to nibble on cold and the extra sauce is going in the freezer for next time(I only cook for two so there is always extras) Thanks for the recipe!
