Spicy Honey Soy Glazed Salmon

I’ve had a bottle of Sriracha sauce sitting in my pantry for a while and finally decided to give it a whirl. I’ve never tried the stuff up until now. It’s almost like a spicy/garlic ketchup, and very tasty. I like to grill salmon and this recipe makes for a very good marinade.  I made this along with my recipe for Quinoa Salad with Corn and Black Beans. Perfect for Summer!

Rice would also be a good side dish with this. I’ve been wondering how to make a really good pot of rice lately because whenever I cook it, the rice has just turned into mush. Since posting this recipe, I just make rice in my Instant Pot and it comes out perfect every time.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Sriracha (adjust For Spice)
¼ cups Low Sodium Soy Sauce, Plus More For Cooking Salmon –
1 whole Lime, Juiced – or 1 one whole lemon
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
2 whole Salmon Fillets

For garnishes, I used sliced lemon and cilantro.

How to Make Spicy Honey Soy Glazed Salmon

1. Whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime, mustard and ginger, and set aside.
2. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Once hot, place salmon (skin side down) on a sheet of tinfoil and set it on the grill. 
3. Grill salmon for 20 minutes. Salmon should be just cooked through; if not, reduce heat to medium and cook for another couple of minutes. Once salmon is cooked, remove from grill. 
4. Serving Size: 1 salmon fillet.

Stove Top Method

Make the marinade for the salmon as listed below. Let it sit in the marinade for 20 minutes.

Preheat oil in a large nonstick stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place salmon (skin side down) in the pan. Drizzle a little more soy sauce over salmon. After about 3 minutes, flip salmon over and cook for another 3 minutes. Salmon should be just cooked through; if not, reduce heat to medium and cook for another couple of minutes. Once salmon is cooked, remove from pan.

Serve salmon over rice and drizzle sauce over top.
