Top Secret recipe. It's all about the sauce with this one. This sweet, tangy and slightly spicy sauce goes perfectly with salmon, but can also be used on chicken or ribs. Just be sure to watch the sauce closely as it cooks in case it starts to bubble over. It's gonna get thicker as it cools, so be sure not to overcook it. If it becomes too thick, just add a bit of water to thin it out.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Honey Pepper Sauce

3/4 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pineapple juice

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (8 ounce) salmon fillets (without skin)

1
Make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.

3
Watch the sauce closely to be sure it doesn't bubble over.

Rub each salmon filet with vegetable oil, then add a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.
6
Grill the salmon for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until done.

Very good!!! I've never had Applebee's but I was looking for a good salmon recipe and this fit the bill... I cut out the vinegar because I was out and I really don't care for vinegar anyway and didn't notice any problem with the recipe. My husband has fallen in love with me all over again for cooking this for him, so I'll be making it very often!

This was wonderful. I really enjoyed this simple and tasty salmon dish. I will make again. I doubled the cayenne and it was very tasty.

I love the sauce. I was out of pineapple juice so I had to sub with orange juice. I cooked the sauce and boiled it down then drizzled it over the baked salmon fillets and broiled it for 1 - 2 minutes, just until it browns. This was flavouful enough without having to serve the sauce on the side. I will try this sauce on ribs the next time. Thanks for posting.

I don't know what to add to this other than it is wonderful! Thank you for posting it. I did cut back the cayenne to 1/4 t. as my husband doesn't like too spicy food and it was just right. Try this one, you won't be sorry.
