Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
For the Salmon
  • 6 oz skin-on salmon fillets Marinade is sufficient for up to 6 fillets
  • 1 small amount neutral oil such as grapeseed, for pan

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Oven-safe pan
  • Large skillet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and Sriracha. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir to combine.
  2. Add the salmon fillets to the bowl and turn to coat them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high for at least 10 minutes. Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat the skin dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub an oven-safe pan with a small amount of neutral oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the pan.
  5. Place the pan under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until the top of the salmon is nicely caramelized.
  6. While the salmon broils, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Carefully transfer the salmon fillets from the broiler pan to the hot skillet, skin-side down.
  7. Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 1 minute, or until the skin is crisp. Transfer the fillets to a plate and let them rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

This recipe is naturally gluten-free. For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. You can adjust the Sriracha for your preferred level of spice.
