Ingredients for Honey Sriracha Salmon

• Salmon: I like to use wild caught salmon with the skin on. This helps to keep the salmon from drying out when cooking. Feel free to leave the skin on if you enjoy eating it!
• Garlic: Garlic is an incredible addition to this salmon recipe! It adds a lot of flavor without being over-powering.
• Soy Sauce: I added in some low-sodium soy sauce. It adds just enough saltiness and brings the overall taste up a notch.
• Honey: I could’ve added sugar, but honey adds not only sweetness but a delicious flavor that goes so well in this Sriracha salmon dish! It’s also much easier to mix in, leaving a smooth glaze with no graininess.
• Sriracha: Here’s where the heat comes in, plus a little extra sweetness! If you are a fan of spicy add some extra Sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes.
• Water: The salmon glaze is super thick at this point, so I added a little water just to thin it down to the right consistency.
• Olive Oil: If you’re pan-frying the honey Sriracha salmon, add a little olive oil to keep the salmon from sticking. I used light olive oil as it has the most neutral flavor.
