This Honey Sriracha Salmon is sweet, spicy, and comes together with just a few ingredients and under 30 minutes, so you can make it anytime the craving hits!
I LOVE salmon, but my husband absolutely does not. He grew up fishing with his dad and has fished his entire life. He LOVES fishing, but if you even suggest the idea of him eating the fish, he's more than likely going to give you a sideways look like he thinks you are crazy for even suggesting it.
It's because of his hatred for seafood that I usually make all my favorite seafood recipes when he's gone for work or during the week for my lunches.
This Honey Sriracha Salmon has the right amount of sweetness and spice. It's so delicious, and dare I say utterly addicting because once you have it, you'll add it into your regular rotation. Sorry, not sorry!
