This honey sriracha salmon recipe is adapted from The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor.

Honey sriracha is the best salmon glaze ever, the salmon is moist, juicy, with the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. It’s absolutely delicious!

Salmon Glaze

One of the best ways to cook salmon is to prepare a marinade as a salmon glaze.

This salmon glaze recipe calls for the following ingredients to create the best salmon glaze ever:

• Honey
• Sriracha sauce
• Soy sauce
• Apple cider vinegar

How to Make a Glaze for Salmon?

All you have to do is mix all the glaze ingredients above, stir well and marinate the salmon in a container or a plastic bag.

For the best flavors, it’s best to keep the salmon and the glaze in the refrigerator overnight.

After cooking, the glaze yields sticky, sweet, savory, sour and spicy flavors. It also coats the salmon with a smooth, shiny coating or finish!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Maple Syrup Instead of Honey As Glaze?

Yes, you can use maple syrup as a substitute to make maple glazed salmon. Just add Sriracha or any hot sauce you like for a different recipe variation.

Can I Bake the Salmon in Oven?

Yes, you sure can. To avoid the honey being burnt in the oven, I recommend baking the salmon using parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Just wrap the salmon before baking. For a shiny glaze, you can quickly broil the salmon for 30 – 60 seconds for a glossy finish.
