- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) - ¼ cup honey - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce The main stars of this dish are salmon, honey, and Sriracha. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein. The honey adds a sweet touch, while Sriracha gives it a spicy kick. Together, they create a balanced flavor that excites your taste buds. - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated - 2 cloves garlic, minced These ingredients enhance the dish. Soy sauce adds umami, bringing depth to the glaze. Fresh ginger provides warmth and a hint of spice. Garlic infuses a savory note that rounds out the flavor profile. - 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish) - Sesame seeds (for garnish) Garnishes add visual appeal and flavor. Green onions give a fresh crunch, while sesame seeds add nuttiness. These touches make your dish look and taste even better. Enjoy the contrast of colors and textures on your plate! First, set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This hot temperature ensures a nice glaze on the salmon. Next, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easy and prevents sticking. In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients for the glaze: - ¼ cup honey - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon sesame oil - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar Whisk these together until they blend well. The glaze should smell sweet and spicy. This will coat your salmon perfectly. Now, take 4 salmon fillets, each about 6 oz, and season them with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. This helps the skin get crispy and keeps the fish moist. Brush the honey Sriracha glaze over each salmon fillet generously. Save a little glaze for later basting. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes. The fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through, baste the salmon with the reserved glaze for extra flavor. When the salmon is done, let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep it juicy. For the final touch, garnish each fillet with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This adds color and a nice crunch. Enjoy your flavorful dish! To adjust spice levels, start with less Sriracha. You can always add more if you like heat. For a milder glaze, use honey and a bit of soy sauce. If you have leftover glaze, store it in a sealed container. It will last up to one week in the fridge. You can use it later on grilled veggies or chicken. Baking the salmon is simple and reliable. It keeps the fish moist and flavorful. If you prefer grilling, place it on medium heat. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side. To check doneness, use a fork to see if it flakes easily. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Serve your Honey Sriracha Glazed Salmon on a bed of jasmine rice. Steamed vegetables also make a great side.

Use lemon or lime zest for a fresh twist. If you want more heat, try different hot sauces. You can use less Sriracha for a milder taste or mix in chili flakes for extra spice. If you want to switch the protein, chicken or tofu works great. For chicken, use boneless thighs or breasts. Cook them for about 20-25 minutes at the same oven temperature. For tofu, press it to remove water, then cut it into cubes. Bake the tofu for around 15-20 minutes, brushing on the glaze halfway through. The way you serve this dish can change its look.

I recommend eating it within 3 days for the best taste. When reheating salmon, use the oven or a skillet. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the salmon on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 minutes. If using a skillet, warm it over low heat. This keeps the salmon juicy and tasty. Avoid using a microwave, as it can dry out the fish. You can freeze your glazed salmon if you have extras. Wrap each fillet tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. This helps prevent freezer burn. To thaw, place the salmon in the fridge overnight. You can also use cold water for a quicker method. Just make sure to cook it right away after thawing. To check if salmon is cooked, look for flakiness. Use a fork to gently poke the fish. If it flakes easily, it's done. Salmon should also reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This ensures it is safe to eat while still being moist and tender. Yes, you can make the glaze ahead of time.
