Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce
An easy salmon dish with homemade teriyaki sauce and a Sriracha cream sauce that will knock your socks off!
Ever since I started food blogging 13 months ago, I’ve rarely repeated any recipes. I definitely have some favorites that I’d like to try again here and there but I love trying new things, and I like to use the opportunity to post something new for the blog.
But one of the things that is in constant repeat at our house is pancetta fried rice (recipe to come soon). That and now this dish. This was my second time making this actually – the first time was months ago when I was visiting Jason in San Francisco. We absolutely loved it, and I made sure to recreate it so I can share it with all of you guys.
It’s an amazing dinner dish that comes together so quickly, but it’s still fancy enough to make when you have company over. All that needs to be done is to create the homemade teriyaki marinade, soak the salmon in this marinade for about 30 minutes or so, roast the salmon and then drizzle some of this fantastic Sriracha cream sauce on top. Yes, you heard me, I said Sriracha “cream” sauce. How mouth-wateringly amazing does that sound? The whole ensemble is wonderfully sweet with just enough heat in every bite. Just writing about this is making me crave this, and I just had it on Sunday! I might need to do an emergency grocery run so I can make it again tonight!
So here’s how you make this. Let’s first start with the Sriracha cream sauce by combining some mayo, Sriracha and condensed milk. I added about 3 tablespoons Sriracha since Jason and I like our food super spicy.
Then go ahead and take a swim in this sauce. I won’t judge.
Once you’re done with your Sriracha cream sauce swim, it’s time to make the teriyaki marinade. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic powder, honey and 1 cup water over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
Combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water and add it to this marinade so it gets nice and thick.
You want it thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Let the teriyaki marinade cool a bit before you combine it with the salmon.
Place the marinating salmon in the fridge for about 30 minutes to overnight. The longer the better.
Then we’re going to bake it at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Don’t let it overcook!
Once your salmon comes out of the oven, serve it immediately on a bed of white rice with a liberal drizzle of the Sriracha cream sauce. Feel free to garnish it a bit if you’d like. Or you can just dig in and devour this like there’s no tomorrow.
