Once I was jotting down recipe concepts for the approaching weeks, I used to be on an enormous sizzling honey kick after making final week’s hen tenders. It had been some time since I’d made my favourite sizzling honey sauce, and I’d forgotten how scrumptious it’s. I bear in mind the primary time I ever made sizzling honey hen. That recipe was referred to as Nashville Sizzling Honey Rooster as a result of spicy fried sizzling honey hen was initially a Nashville specialty.

There are most likely a whole bunch of how to make use of sizzling honey, however hen tender is probably going the household favourite. Nonetheless, once I talked about the thought of a crispy sizzling honey salmon chunk to my mother, she instantly mentioned, Oh ya, make that! That’s a no brainer.

Steps

Step 1: cook dinner the salmon

I like to make use of both strips or cubes of salmon fillets. You’ll be able to select to go away the pores and skin on or off the salmon, however for this recipe, I eliminated the pores and skin. I needed these to be just a little extra like a salmon tender/wing.

To the salmon, add the onion and garlic powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, and parmesan. Gently toss to coat, then add oil or butter for cooking. I desire utilizing salted butter.

Whereas the salmon is just not breaded, the parmesan coats every bit and creates the proper crispy texture. I really like that crispy texture and the yummy taste of fried cheese!

Step 2: the sauce

My sauce is at all times the identical. We LOVE it.

Earlier than the salmon is finished, heat the honey on the range in a small saucepan with sizzling sauce, cayenne, and chipotle chili powder. The chili powder provides a really delicate smokiness to the candy, spicy, salty sauce.

Please make sure to solely use the quantity of cayenne you and your loved ones take pleasure in. On Monday, I’ll have individuals inform me the sauce is simply too spicy, but it surely’s going to be nice for those who solely add the cayenne to style!

Additionally, don’t boil the sauce; very gently heat it over low warmth. In the event you boil it, it’s going to turn into too thick.

You need to use as little or as a lot of the sauce as you’d like. We often have some left over. Attempt it in your pizza—it’s SO DELICIOUS!

Step 3: coat the hen in sauce

You’ll be able to drizzle or pour the sauce over the nice and cozy salmon as quickly because the tenders/wingers/bites come out of the oven. The warmth helps the sauce to essentially adhere to the salmon.

I at all times end with flaked sea salt. Typically, we add inexperienced onions, cilantro, or thyme. A creamy sauce on the aspect would even be good—possibly a lemon aioli!
