This sweet and spicy sriracha-glazed salmon is a vibrant addition to any midweek meal rotation. The recipe features a zesty marinade of fresh ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce, which creates a beautifully sticky glaze as the fish simmers. By marinating the fillets, the wild salmon absorbs a deep, savoury flavour that perfectly balances the heat of the Sriracha sauce.
As a heart-healthy dish, this recipe is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids and requires very little added fat for cooking. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, high-protein dinner that does not compromise on taste. Serve these succulent fillets alongside steamed pak choi and fluffy jasmine rice or a crisp cucumber salad for a light yet satisfying homemade feast.

Ingredients for Sweet 'n' Spicy Sriracha-Glazed Salmon
60ml reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
450g wild salmon fillet, cut into 4 (110g) pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions, for garnish
How to make Sweet 'n' Spicy Sriracha-Glazed Salmon
In a 1-gallon zip-top plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the salmon, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, turning the fish once.
Remove the salmon from the bag, reserving the marinade. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Rotate the pan to coat the bottom evenly and add the salmon. Cook until one side of the fish is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until the other side browns, 2 more minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the reserved marinade. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
Place a piece of salmon on each of 4 serving plates and sprinkle with the spring onions.
