Recipe View Serve Immediately: Serve the glazed salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

For a richer flavor, substitute honey for the brown sugar in the glaze.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can broil the salmon in the oven. Preheat your broiler and place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili paste to suit your spice preference.
The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using.
Experiment with different herbs in place of basil, such as cilantro or mint.
