Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small mixing bowl, combine sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Brush a thin layer of olive oil onto the lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
Generously pour the prepared spicy glaze over the salmon fillets, making sure they are evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cook times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Optional: For a slightly charred and caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 2 minutes at the end of the baking process. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top for garnish.
Serve the 911 Salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, like steamed rice and roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
