About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 13 oz salmon
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup green onions
Sriracha Garlic Aioli
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup lime
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- 1If the salmon fillets have skin, remove it, then cut the flesh into large bite‑sized cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, the minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
- 3Add the cubed salmon to the bowl, toss to coat evenly, and let it marinate for at least 2 minutes (longer if time permits).
- 4Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium‑low heat until shimmering.
- 5Place the salmon pieces in the skillet in a single layer; cook for about 3 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden and the interior is just cooked through. Remove the salmon to a plate and set aside, reserving the leftover marinade.
- 6Reduce the heat to low, add the unsalted butter to the same skillet, and once melted, pour in the reserved marinade.
- 7Simmer the sauce for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and any raw fish juices are cooked out; return the salmon to the pan and baste with the buttery glaze.
- 8Stir in the thinly sliced green onions, allowing them to wilt briefly, then remove the pan from heat.
- 9While the salmon finishes cooking, prepare the Sriracha garlic aioli: combine mayonnaise, the additional minced garlic, lime juice, and Sriracha in a small bowl; mix until smooth and adjust heat level to taste.
- 10Serve the glazed salmon over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, drizzle with the aioli, and garnish with extra green onion slices for color.
