Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Place the salmon fillet in a shallow baking dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it's evenly coated. (1 minute)

03

Step

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, allowing the salmon to fully absorb the flavors. (240 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, and onion powder until smooth and creamy. This is your delectable sriracha aioli. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat until hot but not smoking. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully place the salmon in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Season the top of the salmon with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (1 minute)

07

Step

Cook the salmon for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through to your desired doneness. (4 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the prepared sriracha aioli. (1 minute)

10

Step

Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and savor the delightful fusion of flavors.

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.
