    Let’s talk taste:

    Taste-wise this Salmon recipe feels so comforting. The spicy soy sauce and sriracha sauce shakes hands with garlic and honey to form a perfect balance of sweet and sour. This combination is what makes this recipe a huge hit amongst all.

    A VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR THIS RECIPE 🙂

     

    How to make Honey Garlic Salmon: An Overview

    1. Marinating the Salmon – While making salmon, I try to keep the marination minimal. So, for me, a simple humble combination of black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika or cayenne pepper is enough.
    2. Preparing the Sauce – To prepare our sauce, we mix minced garlic with soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, and lemon juice. We also add a hint of water just to get it smooth and runny. While making the sauce always keep in mind the number of ingredients. This recipe for me ranks on the sweeter side of the palate. Therefore, too much soy sauce is something that you should avoid. Be incredibly careful while adding soy sauce. Too much soy sauce will make it bitter.
    3. Pan-searing the Salmon – Cook the salmon completely on both sides. If you don’t cook through completely it will taste bad and also smell bad. So cook until you see a brown crust on both sides. Start with the skin side down on the pan. Then flip it over and sear the other side.
    4. Basting with Sauce: Use the Honey Garlic sauce to baste the salmon. This will ensure even cooking and also make sure that the sauce enters the fish appropriately.

    What not to do while making this Salmon Recipe

    1. Never add too much Soy Sauce: As you can see I am stressing this point time and again. This is because I was on the other end of adding too much soy sauce and my recipe fell flat on my face. So, while making it again, I was super careful about the quantity of soy sauce and then it tasted just the way it does in restaurants.
    2. Honey is THE most important ingredient of this recipe: I would never compromise on honey while making Honey garlic salmon. The first thing that should stick to your taste buds while having this is the sweetness of honey.
    3. Do not add Lemon Wedges while cooking: I have seen many people add lemon wedges on the pan while cooking. This according to me, is a terrible idea. The skin of the lemon, when cooked at such high heat, will turn bitter and would, in turn, make my recipe incredibly bitter. So, I would never do that. BUT, I would always keep them beside the salmon at last. It would bring in a beautiful visual on the plate.
