Honey Sriracha Salmon
This spicy-savory-sweet Salmon is made with a sauce you can use as a marinade, a dip, or a simple sauce to brush over any protein before cooking. So tasty!
I cooked it on a grill pan on my stovetop. This fish was pretty thin, so it took only 8 minutes to cook to a nice medium-rare. I usually cook salmon about 12 minutes per inch of thickness, whether roasted in the oven or on the grill.

(See Note 1) If you see little white liquid flecks coming through the flesh, it is time to take it out of the oven. Let rest 5 mins.
