Sweet & Spicy Glazed Salmon

This salmon recipe is sweet and spicy. The glaze has soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. The outside is crispy with a flaky inside and golden color, not to mention so much nutrition. I could eat this salmon every night of the week, it’s that good! 

I have wanted to post this recipe for so long, but life got REAL busy. I started a new job and I am studying to get my FINRA Securities Licenses. I am pretty excited about my position and so far I am loving it! I have fallen a bit behind on my posts and I am really sorry about that, but it’s just an adjustment and I will figure out the balance again… so keep posted!! I have about 3 weeks of studying and testing left.

I would normally put all this pressure on myself and feel completely horrible and guilty for not getting a post out, but I am only human. We put WAY too much stress on ourselves to do everything, but if we choose what we do from a place of love it will always flow. I have to prioritize and right now my training and passing these tests is my flow. I am feeling inspired today though, and I can’t wait to share this Sweet & Spicy Salmon Recipe.
