Delicious Honey Sriracha Baked Salmon: The Perfect Ten Minute Meal
Some recipes are just easier than others and this one is an EASY one. You basically just coat the salmon in a glaze, pop it in the oven, bake for a few minutes, and dinner is done!
What makes this recipe so good is the delicious honey sriracha glaze on top. The glaze is a combination of honey and sriracha, of course, as well as a few other seasonings that make it out of this world good.
Don’t have salmon in the fridge? You can use the honey sriracha sauce on shrimp or even chicken breasts for a flavorful meal. Pair it with your favorite veggies and white rice or cauliflower rice to make a complete meal that the entire family will love!
What makes this baked salmon absolutely perfect is the delicious honey sriracha glaze on top. It coats the salmon as it bakes so that every single bite has a little bit of sweet, tangy, sesame flavor. Making a glaze for your salmon, instead of just seasoning it with a few spices, might sound a little complicated but trust me, it is not! You only need a few ingredients to whip up this flavorful sauce. You likely already have everything you need!
Sriracha: This chili sauce adds just the right amount of heat and chili flavor to the salmon.
Honey: Honey helps to balance out the heat of the sriracha and create a sweet and sticky glaze that coats the salmon. Don’t have any honey on hand? Feel free to use maple syrup instead!
Coconut Aminos: Coconut aminos are often used in replace of soy sauce in Paleo dishes. They are made from coconut tree sap and have a slightly more sweet flavor than traditional soy sauce. If you do not have coconut aminos, feel free to use soy sauce instead.
Rice Vinegar: Helps to add a little tang and cut through the sweetness of the sauce.
Lime Juice: All seafood needs a little citrus, right? Lime juice works really well with the flavors of the sauce ingredients.
Sesame Oil: This helps to give the sauce that Asian-inspired flavor. If you do not have any, just leave it out.
Ingredient Substitutions
Coconut Aminos – if you don’t have coconut aminos, I highly recommend grabbing a jar for this recipe. They have subtly sweet, slightly salty, and delicious flavor that works really well in this sauce. If you substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos the dish will likely be a bit too salty.
Honey – you can easily swap the honey for maple syrup if you prefer.
How to Make This Easy Honey Sriracha Salmon Recipe
This recipe could not be more simple, which makes it perfect for a busy weeknight or when you do not feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
Step One: The first step is to make the honey sriracha glaze. To do this, add all of the glaze ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Step Two: Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season them liberally with salt and pepper. Then, use a basting brush to spread the glaze evenly on each salmon filet. Don’t skimp here! Use up all of that delicious honey sriracha glaze.
Step Three: Bake the salmon at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets.
Step Four: Remove the salmon from the oven, garnish with green onion and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for the Best Salmon
This recipe is incredibly simple, but there are a few key tips and tricks that will ensure you get perfectly cooked salmon every single time.
Pat your salmon dry before cooking to make sure that the glaze properly sticks to each piece of fish. To do this, just use paper towels to gently pat the salmon until completely dry.
Use parchment paper! This helps to make sure that the salmon or any glaze does not stick to the pan. Plus, it makes cleaning up super easy.
Do not overcook your salmon. It really probably only needs 8-10 minutes.
How Do I Know When Salmon is Done?
The easiest way to know when your salmon is done is by using an instant read meat thermometer. Salmon is considered well done when the internal temperature of the thickest part reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
However, if you like your salmon more medium-rare then you can cook it between 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. If you prefer your salmon medium (my personal preference!) then shoot for a range between 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you do not have an instant read meat thermometer then you can press down on the top of the salmon fillet with your finger or fork. If the salmon easily “flakes” or separates then you know that it is done.
Can I Make the Honey Sriracha Glaze in Advance?
Yes! If you want to do some prep in advance, you can make the honey sriracha glaze in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
When you are ready to make the salmon, pull out the glaze ten to fifteen minutes in advance so that it can come to room temperature. This will ensure that it is easy to spread on the salmon filets.
Can I Eat Salmon Skin?
Yes! I prefer to remove the skin from my salmon fillets before making this recipe with a sharp knife. However, if you enjoy salmon skin then you are welcome to leave it on.
How to Serve
Need some ideas on how to serve your salmon? Here are a few of my favorite ideas:
How to Store: If you have leftovers, I recommend storing the salmon in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to two days.
How to Reheat: My favorite ways to reheat this honey sriracha salmon are either in a hot skillet with a bit of oil or on a baking sheet in the oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Made this recipe for lunches this week. I decided to leave the sriracha out just because I can’t handle spice very well, but nonetheless this recipe was great! I paired it with suggested sides and I loved it!
This has been on repeat in my house for a minute. My husband literally pouts if I say I’m making salmon and it’s not this recipe when he comes to the table. It is amazing! And so quick and easy. Perfect for a weeknight.
I made this recipes for lunches this week and it was perfect! I followed the note to prep the sauce ahead of time, so I could just pull it out each day. It was super convenient while still getting really flavorful, fresh salmon each day!
I’m not a huge salmon lover, but decided to give it a go since I know that every recipe Ashlea makes is super flavorful. I’m glad that I tried it–it was a HIT!! The sauce was absolutely delicious and I couldn’t believe how quick the prep and cook time was. We dressed it up with jasmine rice and green beans and it was perfect!! Definitely going on the rotation for the school year!
I have loved any recipe from All The Healthy Things- but this is one of my favotires! I love that its quick and easy to make, doesn’t require crazy ingredients, and you can swap out salmon for other proteins. It’s one of the recipes that constantly in my dinner rotation.
A family favorite – we make this at least once every two weeks. The meal comes together easily, and the honey sriracha sauce is so good (my picky kids love it). Don’t skip the step of patting the salmon dry – it makes a big difference.
This is such a great salmon recipe. We eat this every week or every other week and it never gets old! Perfect with some oven roasted broccoli and brown rice! It is also easy to make, a perfect meal to add to your weeknight rotation.
This is so delicious and super quick and easy. I make it at least once every other week and have shared the recipe with many friends. I use soy instead of coconut aminos.
I used this sauce on some chicken thighs last week and LOVED it! The flavor is so balanced – spicy and sweet and so perfect. Thanks for another great recipe to add to my dinner rotation.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delish! I can be a baby about spice, but the heat in the sriracha sauce was perfectly balanced by the fatty salmon and sweet honey. I’m already thinking up other things to make with this delicious sauce— yum!
Made this last night since I got some freshly-caught salmon. The sauce is so easy to make, with ingredients I generally have on-hand. We ended up grilling this on a cedar plank, and the flavor was just delish! I used some leftover sauce to coat some grilled green beans, which was a nice way to tie the veggie side together with the fish. So tasty, definitely going to use this again with salmon!
After loving your egg roll in a bowl recipe, I knew I needed to check out your other stuff. That led me to this salmon which turned out so well! It was soooo unbelievably easy to make with such simple and clean ingredients. Love it! I ate it with some jasmine rice and broccoli.
This was so simple & so delicious! Salmon stays in our regular rotation, but most of the time it just takes like… salmon. The glaze was just right – enough to accentuate but not overpower the salmon. My husband & I loved it. I served with roasted diced sweet potatoes & lemon-roasted asparagus. We will definitely make again!
Seriously one of my favorite recipes I’ve made in a while! A nice addition to plain old salmon which I was getting a bit tired of — this was so easy and you probably already have all or most of the ingredients on hand! I will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation!!
Super simple recipe to follow! I made it for 7 people and everyone loved it. I didn’t know till this recipe that salmon really doesn’t need much time to cook and keep it’s moisture.
Can’t believe how easy this was to make!!! Came together so quickly for a super delicious and flavorful weeknight dinner. Thank you, Ashlea for making our Monday night dinner so tasty!

I just made this tonight and OMG delish! I didn’t have some of the ingredients like rice vinegar and coconut aminos. So I substituted those with apple cider vinegar and coconut oil. Still came out flavorful! I’ll share my results on my food page and tag you!
Wow this salmon was SO GOOD. I was tired of my usual salmon seasoning, and this was so easy. There was so much flavor and it literally took less than 5 minutes to get in the oven! I served with white rice and roasted broccoli, and will definitely be adding this to my stash of “Make Again” recipes.
Holy cow this is so good!!! Easy, delicious, and no guilt. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Typically we like our salmon pretty simple, but wanted to try something different tonight for dinner. I’m so glad we did!
Hi Ashlea! Just made your Honey Sriracha Salmon last night for dinner and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE! the whole family loved it, and it was such a nice switch up from the regular salmon we typically cook. The recipe was also SOO easy, and we made sesame ginger snap peas to go on the side.
This recipe is delicious!!! We grilled the salmon instead of baking it and the marinade did year in the fire! This one will be added to my rotation for sure! Thank you!
WOW! JUST made this salmon for dinner tonight and it was unbelievable! Will 100% be making next time I have salmon. Thank you so much for sharing, Ashlea.
Made this salmon for dinner last night and paired it with a spinach salad. It was SO tasty! I love how simple it was to make too – had all the ingredients on hand already. Looking forward to trying more recipes!
