Sweet ‘n Spicy Sriracha-Glazed Salmon

It’s ironic that once a week, almost without fail, I make a combination of Asian salmon, spinach and rice for dinner and yet I’ve never blogged about it. Of course, the reason being that this is one of my quick, off-the-cuff dinners that requires no recipe. Sometimes, I quickly marinate the fish in a mixture of soy sauce, honey and sesame oil, other times I just pour from a bottled marinade that caught my eye somewhere along the line. The salmon often get cooked on the grill pan but other times it’s baked then quickly broiled in the toaster oven. No measuring spoons are dirtied, no timers set. 

Every once in awhile I follow a recipe for my beloved “go to” meal and the result isn’t much different from when I wing it but then again, there is the occasional exception. What I liked about this recipe from “The Skinnytaste Cookbook” by Gina Homolka was that it was as easy as my improvised version, using the same pantry staples, but that the resulting salmon was noticeably elevated. The fact that there was enough leftover sauce in the pan to both sauté my spinach and drizzle over the rice was a complete bonus. 

So give this Sweet ‘n Spicy Sriracha-Glazed Salmon a try–I guarantee that it will become a new weeknight favorite.
