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.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • 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.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut on an angle into 1/2" pieces.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Trim and slice white portions of green onions into 1" lengths. Thinly slice remaining green portions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Pat salmon fillets dry, and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Salmon

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and salmon, skin side up, to hot pan. Sear on one side until golden brown, 2-4 minutes.

    Transfer salmon to prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Roast the Salmon

    Roast salmon in hot oven until firm and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 7-10 minutes.

    While salmon roasts, make hot honey butter.

  4. 4

    Make the Hot Honey Butter

    Add softened butter, honey, red pepper flakes (to taste), and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and stir until combined and smooth. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt and seasoning rub. Remove from burner.
