Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to avoid sticking and facilitate an easier cleanup process afterward.
In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until well-incorporated and season with salt and pepper according to your tastes.
Place your salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet. Use a basting brush or spoon to generously coat each fillet with the prepared firecracker sauce, ensuring an even distribution.
Roast the salmon fillets in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. They are done when the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For extra crispy skin, you can choose to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking, but be attentive to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and a pop of color before serving.

Notes

Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness to your preference. When broiling, keep a close watch on the salmon to avoid overcooking and burning. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes post-cooking to allow the juices to settle for a more flavorful bite.
