Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze that caramelizes into a sticky, flavorful crust, perfect for busy weeknights or casual cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each, skin on)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, lime juice, and olive oil until smooth and glossy (about 3 minutes).
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and black pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper per fillet). Let rest for 5 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes without moving to develop a crust.
  5. Brush the top of each fillet generously with the honey sriracha glaze. Carefully flip the salmon and brush the other side with glaze.
  6. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and glaze is caramelized but not burnt.
  7. Check doneness with a meat thermometer if available: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or up to 140°F (60°C) for fully cooked.
  8. Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 3 minutes. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure good caramelization. Apply glaze during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning. Use skin-on fillets for better texture and juiciness. If flare-ups occur, move salmon to a cooler part of the grill and keep a spray bottle of water nearby. The glaze can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge.
