This sweet and spicy Sheet Pan Sriracha Honey Glazed Salmon recipe is highly addictive. The combination of sweet honey, spicy sriracha, and melt in your mouth salmon takes your tastebuds on an epic adventure. Serve with quinoa and green beans to make a complete meal.Â
We absolutely love salmon. It is a great source of protein and healthy fats, it is easy to make, and can work with so many flavors. Baking salmon on a sheet pan is one of our favorite ways to cook it. The salmon turns out tender and it is done in no time fast! In this Sheet Pan Sriracha Honey Glazed Salmon recipe we marinaded the salmon in a combination of sweet honey and spicy sriracha. The marinade is easy to prepare and adds so much flavor to this salmon meal prep.
Before getting started it's important to make sure that you have all of your ingredients and Good Cook meal prep containers on hand. We ran to Target because it's always like one-stop-shopping. Being able to grab all of the fresh ingredients that we need from Target and all of the essential tools has really made meal prepping so much easier. #TimeSaver
Let's talk Sriracha Salmon recipe...
For the marinade, it's sweet with a hint of spicy. If you like things spicier, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoon more sriracha. If you like things less spicy, cut the recipe back to 1-2 tbsp. The same application applies to honey. We found the â…“ cup honey to 5 tablespoon sriracha ratio to be perfect, but it's all about what works best for you.
We grabbed the pre-cooked quinoa to pair with the Sheet pan Sriracha Honey Glazed Salmon at Target (from the pouch), but you can always opt to make your own while the salmon is cooking and the green beans are steaming.
Sheet Pan Sriracha Honey Glazed Salmon Ingredients:
- 4 Wild-caught Salmon Fillets (~4 oz. each; fresh or thawed)

Optional:

Even the ingredients for this recipe look so fresh! Fresh summer strawberries, salmon, green beans..... our mouths are watering!
The marinade comes together in just a few minutes. As mentioned above, make sure to adjust the honey and sriracha to your liking. You know, by doing a little finger dipping test.
Once everything is done, it's time to serve it in your portion controlled meal prep container. They are available at Target stores, but if you want to do what we like to often do and shop online, you can grab them at Target.com too! This container has two - 1 cup compartments and one -2 cup compartment. We included 1 cup each strawberry and green beans into the containers and then divided the 2 cup compartment into 1 cup cooked quinoa and one 4 ounce portion salmon.
