A quick and flavorful salmon recipe featuring a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 g) each
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  2. Pat dry and season salmon: Use paper towels to pat each salmon fillet dry. Lightly season both sides with freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Sear the salmon: Place fillets skin-side down in the pan. Press gently with a spatula for even contact. Cook about 4 minutes without moving.
  5. Flip and glaze: Carefully flip each fillet and immediately brush the honey-sriracha glaze over the cooked side and top. Cook another 2 minutes or until salmon is just cooked through (internal temp ~125°F/52°C).
  6. Rest and serve: Remove salmon from pan and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Keep the pan at medium-high heat to avoid burning the glaze. Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Let salmon rest after cooking to keep it juicy. The glaze can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
