# Step-by-Step Directions:

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in cornstarch slurry until smooth. Return to medium heat and simmer until thickened about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons cold butter and set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange salmon filets on the tray, season with salt and pepper, and brush with olive oil.

Bake salmon for 15 minutes until partially cooked and tender.
04 -
Remove salmon from oven and spoon 1-2 tablespoons hot honey sauce over each filet, letting excess drip onto tray for caramelization. Return to oven and bake an additional 5 minutes until glaze is caramelized.

Serve glazed salmon over steamed rice with extra sauce drizzled on top. Garnish as desired.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Mix cornstarch slurry thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a glossy, thick sauce.
02 -
Allow honey glaze to drip onto baking tray to create caramelized edges for enhanced flavor.
03 -
Avoid overbaking to keep salmon moist and flaky.
