A quick and easy grilled salmon recipe featuring a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze paired with a fresh, tangy pineapple salsa. Perfect for busy weeknights or summer cookouts.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each, skin-on for best grilling)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons, preferably raw or local for richer flavor)
  • Sriracha sauce (1 tablespoon, adjust for desired heat)
  • Soy sauce (1 tablespoon, low sodium if preferred)
  • Fresh lime juice (1 tablespoon, about half a lime)
  • Garlic (1 clove, minced)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon, to help with grilling)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh pineapple (1 cup, finely diced)
  • Red bell pepper (1/2 cup, finely diced)
  • Red onion (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
  • Fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Jalapeño (1 small, seeded and finely chopped – optional)
  • Fresh lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (a pinch to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey (2 tbsp), sriracha (1 tbsp), soy sauce (1 tbsp), fresh lime juice (1 tbsp), minced garlic (1 clove), and olive oil (1 tbsp). Stir until fully combined.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down in the marinade bowl or a shallow dish. Coat all sides evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Make the Pineapple Salsa: Combine diced pineapple (1 cup), red bell pepper (1/2 cup), red onion (1/4 cup), chopped cilantro (2 tbsp), and jalapeño (1 small, optional) in a bowl. Add fresh lime juice (2 tbsp) and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and set aside.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium (about 375°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving. Flip carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes, basting occasionally with leftover marinade. Salmon should be opaque and flake easily.
  6. Serve: Remove salmon from grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Spoon pineapple salsa on top or on the side.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon fillets to keep the fish intact and juicy during grilling. Watch for flare-ups from the honey glaze and move salmon to cooler grill areas if needed. Let salmon rest 2 minutes after grilling for better texture. For gluten-free, swap soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Broiling or pan-searing are good alternatives if no grill is available.
