Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

For Garnish (Optional):

  • sesame seeds
  • green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Salmon: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  3. Mix Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sriracha, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger until well combined to create the spicy-sweet glaze.
  4. Apply Glaze: Generously brush the glaze over each salmon fillet ensuring an even coating. Reserve any remaining glaze to add more flavor after baking.
  5. Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets to avoid overcooking.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the reserved glaze for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful honey sriracha salmon!

Notes
