Spicy, sweet, and so easy to make! This healthy dinner uses pantry staples like honey, sriracha, and soy sauce to jazz up omega-3 rich salmon fillets. The pineapple avocado salsa on top knocks it out of the park.
I like to serve the honey sriracha salmon with brown rice and vegetables to make it a well-rounded meal.

Cannot wait to make this!!! Sriracha and honey is my fave combo. May try with chicken too!
I’ve made this a few times for my fiancé and I. We’re big protein, veggie, carb people. This recipe is super quick and easy, especially if you use the air fryer!!
Finally went for it and tried this recipe and I’m so happy I did ! It was so easy and sooo delicious. I’m not even a big salmon fan and this turned me into one 🙂
Hands down the most delicious salmon recipe and is so easy to make after a long day. The avocado pineapple salsa is to die for. 10/10 recommend!
