Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on
  • ⅓ cup honey (preferably local wildflower honey)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, diced
  • 1 large mango, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Add lime juice and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix flavors. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salmon.
  2. Make the Honey Sriracha Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, and olive oil until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot (about 2 minutes). Place salmon skin-side down and cook without moving for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the fillets carefully with a spatula.
  5. Brush the glaze generously on the cooked side and cook for another 3-4 minutes, brushing the glaze again halfway through. The salmon should flake easily but remain moist inside. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the honey.
  6. Plate and Serve: Place the glazed salmon on plates and spoon a generous amount of peach mango salsa over the top or on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin. Use medium-high heat but avoid burning the honey glaze. Make salsa ahead to let flavors meld. Adjust sriracha for desired spice level. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. If glaze thickens, add water or lime juice to loosen. If salsa is too tart, add a pinch of sugar.
