This delicious Honey Sriracha Baked Salmon recipe requires a few ingredients:

Salmon: skinless fillets of salmon. I use wild Alaskan wild caught salmon.

Honey: use a good quality honey. You only need a little.

Sriracha: this will give the fish a nice heat.

Garlic: freshly minced or crushed.

Olive oil: You can use cooking olive oil or extra virgin.

I also add toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnishing the finished dish.

how to make Honey–Sriracha Sauce

This amazing sauce calls for few simple ingredients; honey, sriracha, garlic, lemon and olive oil.

I use equal rations of honey and sriracha to properly balance the flavor, and I suggest you use garlic and lemon to taste.

How to Make Honey Sriracha Salmon

Preheat the oven to 400F. In a small bowl, mix the honey, sriracha and lemon juice. Add garlic and olive oil and mix well.

Season the salmon with salt and pepper and then pour over the sauce and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking pan, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions and serve with steamed rice on the side.

You can also have this mouthwatering salmon with any sort of greens on the side like Garlic Green Beans or Garlic Butter Potatoes.
