Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Sriracha Salmon
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

  3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated salmon.
  4. Flip the salmon after 2 minutes and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the reserved marinade and cover.

  7. Heat sesame oil again in the skillet, add minced garlic, then sauté spiralized zucchini for 3-5 minutes.

Use fresh salmon fillets for best flavor. Minimum marination of 30 minutes is crucial for depth of flavor. Watch the heat to prevent steaming the salmon.
