Baked Salmon
- Salmon glaze divided

Salmon Glaze - Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth (a little texture from the red pepper is okay but get that ginger blended up).
- Dump mixture into a small sauce pan over medium high heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce turns into a thick glaze (it will cover the back of a spoon without running off).
- Divide sauce in half.
Baking the salmon - Line a baking sheet with foil (dull side up) and lightly oil it.
- Place fillets on baking sheet and coat with half of the glaze.
- Bake until the thickest part of the the fillet registers 145F on an instant read thermometer, about 10-13 minutes.
