Print Recipe

A quick and easy honey sriracha glazed salmon recipe that balances sweet and heat perfectly, delivering a sticky, caramelized glaze over tender, flaky salmon fillets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches (15 cm) from the heat source.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or in an oven-safe skillet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Brush a generous layer of the glaze over each fillet, reserving some glaze for later.
  6. Broil the salmon for 6-8 minutes, watching closely to allow the glaze to bubble and caramelize without burning. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  7. Optionally, brush the remaining glaze on the fillets and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra sticky sweetness.
  8. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

If glaze starts to burn before salmon is cooked, move baking sheet to a lower rack and finish cooking at 375°F (190°C). Pat salmon dry before glazing for better glaze adhesion. For thicker fillets, adjust cooking time accordingly. Pan-searing is an alternative cooking method if no broiler is available.
