Notes
- Salmon filets can be skinless or with skin. If you are using skin-on salmon, cook with the skin down first.
- Coconut aminos are usually used in place of soy sauce. You may use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
- We prefer that you use honey instead of maple syrup. But you may use maple syrup if preferred.
- If you prefer a less spicy sauce, cut down the sriracha to 1 tsp instead of a tablespoon.
