Garlic Sriracha Salmon
Description
This recipe combines minced garlic with soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and honey to create a marinade that coats the salmon fillet thoroughly. Wrapping the salmon in aluminum foil locks in moisture and concentrates flavors while baking at 400°F for 15 minutes ensures the fish is cooked through without drying.
The garlic and sriracha deliver a punch of heat and savory aroma balanced by the sweetness from honey and brown sugar. Foil baking technique gently steams the salmon, producing a tender texture that flakes easily.
Serving immediately after baking preserves the delicate texture and bright flavors. This preparation suits a straightforward, flavorful dinner option requiring minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) salmon fillet
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt
- black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, and honey. Stir until well combined.
- Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil, ensuring they are big enough to completely cover and wrap the salmon. Place the salmon on top and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the Garlic Sriracha mixture to the salmon, spooning it over to cover the entire surface. Wrap the foil sheets around the salmon, ensuring there are no leaks.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
