Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce, delivering a perfect balance of sticky, spicy, and sweet flavors with a crispy skin and tender inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan until shimmering but not smoking (about 2 minutes).
  4. Place the fillets skin-side down in the pan. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them until the color changes up the sides.
  5. Carefully flip the fillets over. Immediately spoon the honey sriracha glaze over the top. Cook another 3-4 minutes, spooning more glaze occasionally, until salmon is just cooked through and the glaze thickens and sticks.
  6. Remove from heat and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to settle and glaze to firm up. Use residual glaze in the pan as a drizzle over the plated fish.

Notes

Pat salmon dry for a good sear and crispy skin. Control heat to avoid burning the glaze. Do not overcrowd the pan. Add glaze only after flipping salmon. Let salmon rest after cooking. For oven-baked version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes after glazing. Use gluten-free tamari for gluten-free option. Maple syrup can substitute honey for vegan adaptation.
