Asian Glazed Salmon

This is a fantastic dish. It is not a "I had the worst day at work and now I want to grab something and watch unrealistic reality television" dish. If you want an amazing unusual salmon dish, make this. You will want to eat this when it comes out of the oven, so schedule accordingly. This is really fantastic and is very sweet, so pair it with some steamed vegetable and rice. I made this for my boyfriend when he got out of surgery. He said it was great. I paired it with his favorite foods: brussel sprouts and Kraft Mac n'cheese. He liked it. He was still on medication for the pain. I do not recommend this combination for those of us sober folk.

1/2 c brown sugar
1/3 c soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peeled and sliced ginger
dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillets

Place the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce forms a glaze. Set aside. Preheat the broiler. Place the salmon fillets on a broiler pan and baste with the sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes. Broil them until cooked through, about 8 minutes, basting again with the glaze. Remove the salmon from the heat and baste once more the the glaze before serving.
