For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the salmon instead of pan-searing it. Marinate as directed, then grill over medium heat until cooked through. Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Serve the Sriracha-Marinated Salmon with a side of steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. To ensure even cooking, use a salmon fillet that is of uniform thickness. Leftover sriracha aioli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
