Ingredients:

For the Honey Sriracha Glazed Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Taco Assembly:

• 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
• 2 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
• Lime wedges for serving

Cooking Equipment Needed:

• Baking sheet
• Mixing bowl
• Small saucepan
• Grill or grill pan (optional)
• Tongs
• Serving platter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set it aside.

2. Prepare the Honey Sriracha Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Glaze the Salmon:

• Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the honey sriracha glaze, making sure to coat all sides.

4. Bake the Salmon:

• Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5. Prepare the Taco Ingredients:

• While the salmon is baking, prepare the taco ingredients. In a mixing bowl, toss the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt.

6. Assemble the Tacos:

• Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
• To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of flaked salmon onto each warmed tortilla. Top with the prepared coleslaw or shredded cabbage, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro leaves.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Tacos immediately, garnished with additional cilantro leaves and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite.

Tips:

• If you prefer, you can grill the salmon fillets instead of baking them. Simply brush the salmon with the honey sriracha glaze and grill over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
• Customize your tacos with additional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and texture.
• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari in the honey sriracha glaze.

With their irresistible combination of sweet and spicy flavors, these Honey Sriracha Salmon Tacos are sure to become a new favorite on taco night. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply craving a flavorful meal, these tacos are guaranteed to impress.
