Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 1 pound salmon filet
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Zucchini Noodles

  • 4 medium zucchini (spiralized)
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil (additional for stir-frying)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Salmon: In a large, shallow dish, combine soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, lime juice, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Add the salmon filet, skin side up, into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish thoroughly.
  2. Sear the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of sesame oil. Place the salmon skin side up in the skillet and sear for about 2 minutes until the surface is slightly caramelized. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
  3. Simmer with Marinade Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour the reserved marinade over the salmon in the skillet. Cover the skillet and gently cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and spoon the sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
  4. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: In the same skillet (now empty), heat an additional tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for a few seconds to release their aroma. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the noodles are tender but still retain a slight bite (al dente). Serve the zucchini noodles alongside or beneath the salmon.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Marinate the salmon for up to 8 hours to deepen flavors.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Reheating: Gently reheat leftovers in a skillet on the stove to retain texture and flavor, or use the microwave if preferred.
  • Zucchini noodles are optional but add a healthy low-carb side that complements the spicy salmon well.
