Asian Honey Sriracha Salmon

This Asian Honey Sriracha Salmon recipe is bursting with sweet and spicy flavor. A simple and healthy dinner recipe that is quick enough for weekdays, but elegant enough for entertaining!

Salmon is a dinnertime superstar that is hearty, flavorful and nutritious. It is a great source of protein, vitamin A, and omega fatty acids, which are essential to the proper functioning of the heart and brain.

In this recipe, salmon fillets are marinated in a sweet and spicy Asian-style marinade and then baked to flaky perfection. It makes a fantastic main dish because it is fast enough for weekdays, but fancy enough for entertaining. 

For a simple, satisfying meal, serve the salmon with steamed rice or vegetables. Other sides that pair fabulously with this recipe are my Sesame Noodles and Chinese Fried Rice. For a protein-packed lunch or dinner, have it with my Quinoa Fried “Rice”.

Important: Don’t overcook the salmon! When the fish looks opaque and the flesh starts to flake easily with a fork, it is done. Resist the urge to cook it for any longer than that.

For this Asian Honey Sriracha Salmon Recipe, I recommend:

• Glass Bakeware and Food Storage Set – I love the versatility of this set, because you can use the same dish to bake, serve and store your food.
• Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons – This is the best set of measuring spoons I have ever purchased. They are super durable, inexpensive and the quality can’t be beat.
