Print Recipe

This recipe features salmon fillets grilled with a sticky, sweet, and spicy honey sriracha glaze that caramelizes beautifully, delivering a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing grill and salmon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  2. Preheat and oil the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (around 400°F/200°C). Use a paper towel dipped in olive oil and tongs to oil the grates well.
  3. Prep the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with olive oil and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Start grilling: Place salmon skin-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes until color changes about two-thirds up the side.
  5. Glaze and flip: Using a basting brush, generously coat the top of each fillet with the honey sriracha glaze. Carefully flip each fillet and brush the other side. Grill for another 3-4 minutes with the lid closed until glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  6. Check doneness: Salmon should be opaque and flake easily but still moist inside. Use a thermometer if desired; 125°F (52°C) is ideal for medium-rare.
  7. Rest and garnish: Transfer salmon to a plate and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving.

Notes

Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking. Apply glaze in the last few minutes to avoid burning the honey. Let salmon rest after grilling to keep it moist. If no grill is available, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes and broil for 2 minutes to caramelize glaze.
