Honey Sriracha Salmon with Spicy & Sweet Mayo
Growing up in Hawaii, I had the luxury of always having fresh seafood available. The seafood would come off the boats, go to the fish markets, get dropped into our frying pan, and shoveled into our mouths. Our family was spoiled! So when we moved to the California desert and only had frozen seafood available, I’ll admit that I was a little lost on how to prepare it. I bought into the myth that frozen seafood had to be defrosted before cooking and was a hassle to prepare. But guess what?! It’s not!
Thanks to the Wild Alaska Seafood website, I now know that I can make delicious healthy meals in as little as 15 minutes using simple COOK IT FROZEN!® techniques. But what makes me the happiest is that I can add frozen Alaska seafood as a pantry staple for quick and healthy meals anytime of the week – no need to thaw! Plus, serving Alaska seafood reminds me of the seafood from home because much of Alaska’s fresh catch is immediately chilled after it leaves the icy water, then commercially flash frozen at well below zero to lock in freshness and the best quality flavor.
So this week, I decided to browse the Alaska seafood at my local market. It was difficult to decide which of Alaska’s five species of salmon, several varieties of whitefish, and numerous shellfish species to bring home, but I finally decided on wild Alaska sockeye salmon. Salmon is high in protein, low in saturated fat, low in sodium and one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
When the kids saw the salmon in the freezer, they asked for my special recipe – Honey Sriracha Salmon with Spicy & Sweet Mayo sauce. My youngest daughter tells me it tastes like a giant specialty sushi roll when served over rice. And following the COOK IT FROZEN!® roasting technique, I was able to make this recipe in a short amount of time and ready to feed my hungry family.

This sounds so great! Going to try it next week!
this looks amazing
Thank you for sharing your fabulous salmon recipe!
Wow I love salmon and wild sockeye is the best. Your dish looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing #overthemoon. Hope you have a great week
Thanks for sharing your recipe at Snickerdoodle Sunday. Pinned and Tweeted. I’m going to make sure that Gloria sees this. She is the salmon lover in our family.
Thanks Beverly for pinning and tweeting. I hope Gloria enjoys the recipe. Tell her to put some shredded nori on it. It will make the salmon taste more like a sushi roll.
Oh my goodness! This looks and sounds so tasty. Adding it to my recipes!
oh my! salmon is my all time favorite. can’t wait to try, thanks for sharing!
XO- Rachel
Funny thing…growing up I only had frozen fish and didn’t eat any fish (fresh or frozen) for years because it was prepared so poorly. Yet, seeing what you made today makes me think I really have to try Wild Alaska’s fish!
I think the way the fish is frozen makes a huge difference. The Alaskan seafood is frozen immediately after it’s caught which helps with the taste and quality of the finished product.
I love salmon, this preparation with the sweet and spicy flavors sounds wonderful!
Thanks Joy. The combo is great with salmon.
This looks delicious. We get almost all of my seafood frozen being in Oklahoma. Since, we all love sushi, we’d enjoy this salmon over rice. PInning to try it soon.
I hope you like Nicky. It tastes even better with nori sprinkled over it.
We love siracha in our house and are always looking for ways to use it. We’re going out to dinner tonight but I am totally trying this tomorrow!
Hope you like the recipe.
I love salmon and this goes to my to do list!
Let me know if you like it.
I just ate salmon this evening! Next time I’ll try your sauces. Yum!!
Isn’t salmon delicious?! I love eating salmon.
This looks really good Erlene! Coming from me that’s high praise. We aren’t big on salman at my house but I love the way your preparing this frozen salmon. Yum!
Thanks Diane. My family loves salmon and we eat it at least once a month. It was really easy to prepare this recipe from frozen and I’ll be adding more frozen fish to our diet.
The sweet with the spicy must be amazing. I can see why your kids liken it to a specialty sushi roll. I’ve not used “frozen in a bag” fish. You’ve given me the confidence to try it.
It really does taste like a specialty sushi. I don’t normally cook frozen fish, but I’ll be doing it now that I know how easy it is.
Salmon is a family favorite. I can’t wait to try your recipe! Thank you. Pinning!
Thank Kelly for pinning. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
Never have done a great job at cooking frozen fish, so your directions are great! I love Wild Caught salmon. It is the only kind we will eat!
I haven’t cooked from frozen before either, but the Alaskan Seafood site has great instructions on how to cook frozen fish in many different ways.
Hi, Erlene ~ This looks delicious! We’ve been trying to eat more fish, so I’m always on the lookout for new recipes. I’m pinning this one, so that we can give it a try soon!
Thanks for pinning Tiffany. I hope you give this a try.
Oh my goodness! This sounds super tasty! I’m pinning it to make it later! <3
Thanks for pinning. Hope you give this a try.
This looks so good! We eat salmon weekly at home and are always looking for different ways to prepare it 🙂
Hope you like the recipe!
Aloha! This post was screaming “Hawaii” at me as I was browsing bloglovin this morning. We’re from Hawaii, too, and now we’re in Florida. I know what you mean! I’m going to share your post with my local boy hubby. Your post is making me so hungry. Mahalo!!!

Well Aloha to you 🙂 Don’t you miss having fresh fish? Florida must have lots of good fish to eat though. I just came back and brought back an poke mix with dried ogo. Haven’t tried it yet, so I’ll see how it tastes. Hope your hubby likes the recipe.
This looks BEYOND delicious. I have been craving salmon for awhile so I definitely need to make.
Thanks Jessica. I hope you give this a try.
We eat salmon here monthly and it’s usually out of a few recipes that I choose from this would be a nice addition to add to that album of choices. I have everything on hand except the sriracha.
You could possibly another type of hot sauce. I like the flavor of sriracha, so we always have a bottle on hand.
My boyfriend would LOVE this! He is a sriracha fiend!!
Me too…love sriracha. You can add more for him too.
That looks delicious, and kind of like a sushi roll!
Yes, very similar. Add shredded nori and it tastes like a specialty sushi.
Gotta love that sweet & spicy combo 🙂
Yes, sweet and spicy is always a good combo.
Yum, everything about this sounds amazing! I love sweet and spicy, and with salmon I bet it’s wonderful.
It got the thumbs up from the kids, so they like it 🙂
Nice one! I’ll try it over the weekend!
I hope you liked it. You can add shredded nori as a topping for added flavor.
Yummy. Looks so good…and healthy!!
It’s really good and my kids love it.
