Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (4-ounce) salmon fillets
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Season the Salmon: Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small pot over medium heat, combine honey, water, brown sugar, sriracha, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Glaze the Salmon: Pour the glaze over the cooked salmon in the skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Transfer the salmon to a plate, drizzle with extra glaze, and serve with your choice of sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking the salmon—check for flakiness with a fork.
- Adjust the heat level by reducing or omitting sriracha.
- Prepare the glaze ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a quick meal prep
