We've been on a hot honey kick at Home Chef HQ, and once you taste this, you'll be in full agreement. The combination of red pepper flakes, honey, and butter pairs perfectly with the flaky, delicate salmon. This tastebud explosion is served with a side of zucchini and tomatoes. We plan on spreading the hot honey gospel for menus to come.

If using chicken, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as salmon in Steps 2 and 3, searing on one side, 4-5 minutes, then roasting until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes.
-
If using ribeye, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as salmon in Steps 2 and 3, searing on one side, 3-4 minutes, then roasting until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Halve to serve.
-
If using tuna, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as salmon in Step 2, cooking until tuna reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-5 minutes per side (no need to use oven). Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side. Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness.
