Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Place salmon fillets in the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  4. Once the pan is hot, carefully add the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down.
  5. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  6. Gently flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  8. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon overnight in the fridge.
