How to make Honey Sriracha Salmon

Tips from the cook

  • Let the salmon sit 15–20 minutes at room temperature so it cooks evenly.
  • Pat it dry and wait until the oil is hot, for a golden crust.
  • Salmon takes 4–5 minutes a side, thicker fillets a few minutes more. It is done when it flakes easily.
  • Sauce not thickening? Stir in a little cornstarch mixed with the same amount of water, only as much as needed.
