Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 to 25 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 salmon fillet, about 2 pounds, skin on or off (I prefer center cut salmon)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chili crisp
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 lemon, zested

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the salmon fillet into a 13x9-inch baking pan. You want the salmon to fit snugly, so adjust the size of the baking dish to fit your salmon. Season with salt and pepper. If you have skinless salmon, salt and pepper both sides. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl stir together the chili crisp, honey and lemon zest. Taste and adjust seasonings to suit your tastes.
3. Spread the sauce over the top of the salmon.
4. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preference. (You can use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The USDA says salmon is cooked through at 145 degrees F.)
5. Serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
