Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon. What is NOT to love? I was so excited when I created this recipe because I don't know about you, but it doesn't SOUND that easy. In fact, I think you'll be surprised at just how easy this actually is! It's only 4 ingredients, however, those 4 ingredients will be a huge punch in the mouth. Did I say that right? I love to serve this around 135 degrees F but the FDA does recommend 145 degrees F for food safety. Lastly, this is amazing served with braised greens or a salad. Add this Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon to your week night dinner rotation! Let's get started!
