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

• 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

Instructions

Notes

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.
