Instructions

Make the sauce for the salmon by whisking all honey sriracha glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Then, preheat the avocado oil or vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Rinse the salmon fillets, pat them dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
Next, sear the salmon fillets in the pan for 4-5 minutes per side until they are cooked through. Remove the salmon fillets from the pan and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the honey sriracha sauce to the pan. It should start to simmer and thicken. When the sauce has the right consistency, add back the salmon fillets and cover them with the sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce doesn't thicken by itself, you can use some cornstarch slurry to thicken it. Simply mix equal parts of water and cornstarch to make the cornstarch slurry. Then slowly pour it into the pan and let the sauce simmer and thicken. Only use as much as you need.
