Method
 

Make the Hot Honey Sauce
  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch slurry (ensure it's smooth and lump-free). Return to medium heat and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  3. Towards the end add the other 2 tablespoon of cold butter.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a container to cool.
Prepare the Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the salmon filets on the tray. Season with salt and pepper, then brush each filet with olive oil.
Bake and Glaze
  1. Bake the salmon for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, generously spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the hot honey sauce over each filet, letting some drip onto the tray for caramelization.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Serve the hot honey salmon over a bed of steamed rice, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish as desired. Enjoy the sweet and spicy perfection!
