Well hello friends! It’s Friday!! I love Fridays. Particularly Fridays at 4:30 pm, when I’m walking out the door from work to start the weekend. Well, more-so when I get home…because traffic in Austin on a Friday afternoon is no joke. And because the weeks are usually long and cluttered with a million things to do, I look forward to being home and not having to rush to get everything done before “bedtime.” I just want to relax and enjoy being home with J. So, dinners are typically something that requires little prep work so that I spend less time in the kitchen and more time with my love. And perhaps a cocktail. Know what I mean?
This salmon is one of those recipes that require very little hands-on time.
You’d never know it by the taste though. It’s full of flavor and so, so good! You just mix up the marinade, plop the salmon in it and come back in 30 minutes to throw it in the oven. The sauce takes all of two minutes to mix up, too. That leaves plenty of time for snuggling with J on the couch or playing with the pups. Or making a cocktail. Did I mention that already??
We love salmon, there’s no doubt about that, but this is probably one of the best salmon dishes we’ve had in awhile. Beware of the sauce though…it gets hotter as it sits overnight…in case you have leftovers to eat the next day.
Chili Glazed Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce
As seen on LaaLoosh
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 ½ Tbsp Sriracha
- 1 Tbsp mayo or miracle whip
- 1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup scallions, diced
Preparation
- Combine chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger, honey, and 3 of the garlic cloves in a shallow dish and mix well. Add the salmon (skin side UP, if it has skin) and allow to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray.
- While salmon is marinating, make Sriracha cream sauce by combining yogurt, mayo, Siracha, lemon juice, salt and remaining garlic clove. Mix well and set aside.
- Place salmon on baking sheet (skin side down if it has skin), spoon a little of the marinade over the top, and bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness. At the end, turn the broiler on for just a couple of minutes to brown off the salmon and give it a little crisp.
- Serve salmon with Sriracha cream sauce and garnish with green onions.
