- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2-3 tablespoons Sriracha adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Tamari/Coconut Aminos for GF

Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, optional grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze adheres well and the salmon cooks evenly.
- Brush about half of the prepared glaze generously over both sides of the salmon fillets, reserving the remaining glaze for later use.
Cooking Method (Choose One)
- For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place the salmon on it.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, brushing with reserved glaze during the last 5 minutes, until cooked through and flaky.
- For pan-searing, heat neutral oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear salmon skin-side down for 4-6 minutes until crispy, then flip, brush with reserved glaze, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until done.
Assembly and Garnish
- While the salmon cooks, prepare your bowls with a base of rice or quinoa and your choice of vegetables.
- Once cooked, transfer the salmon to your bowls and drizzle with any remaining reserved glaze (do not use glaze that touched raw salmon).
- Garnish with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Notes
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level. For a complete meal, customize your bowls with a variety of cooked grains and vegetables. Ensure salmon is cooked through for food safety, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
