Honey Glazed Salmon
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.

Honey Sriracha Salmon
Ingredients
- 8 oz (230g) salmon fillet, cut into 2 pieces
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil or cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnishing)
Salmon Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey

- Marinate the salmon with the Salmon Glaze for 30 mins, or best overnight.
- Remove the salmon from the container, reserving the marinade. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Rotate the pan to coat the bottom evenly before adding the salmon, skin side down.
- Cook until the fish is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until the other side browns, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the reserved marinade. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Dish out and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.

This recipe is amazing! We just finished eating it and it was delicious!!! My husband loved it!!! Can’t wait to make it again! And it’s super easy to make! ??????
This recipe was absolutely amazing! I usually don’t like to cook salmon on the stovetop because it tends to make the whole house smell, but it was well worth it and I will for sure be making this many times in the future. I served it with sesame noodles and a salad with ginger miso dressing. I also made your kimchi fried rice earlier in the week and was blown away! Thanks for another great recipe!
I made Sriracha salmon recipe tonight for dinner. Oh my goodness. I love this sauce. My husband liked it so much we are having it again tomorrow. I did not have fresh ginger so I just used ground ginger.
