An easy salmon dish with homemade teriyaki sauce and a Sriracha cream sauce that will knock your socks off!
Salmon dinners never looked so so good. Nope, not at all.
Say hello to an easy salmon dinner idea that’s quick enough to whip up during the week, but also fancy and impressive enough for company. With an easy homemade teriyaki marinade, you’ll serve your oh-so-flaky, juicy, tender salmon fillets with the most epic Sriracha cream sauce drizzled right on top.
The whole ensemble is wonderfully sweet with just enough heat in every bite. Just writing about this is making me crave this again and again, and I just had it on Sunday. I might need to do an emergency grocery run stat so I can make it again tonight. And probably again tomorrow.
Serve over a bed of warm rice and dig in like there’s no tomorrow.
Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce: Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! But because ground ginger is often more potent/concentrated than freshly grated ginger, you need less when using dry. The correct ratio is 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger to 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
Sriracha is an Asian-style hot chili sauce and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
You can serve this with white rice or our favorite no-fuss sheet pan fried rice!

Made it 2 days ago and making it again tonight. So good!
This sounds heavenly……something my husband would really love!
One of the best meals I have EVER had!!!! 🙂
I am cooking as we speak 🙂 I cant wait!!!! Making with jasmine rice and water chestnuts.
Sounds amazing – let me know how it turns out!
This looks delicious! We love sriracha on anything so I can’t wait to make this.
Regarding the mayo in the cream sauce, I use the Kraft mayo with olive oil for my sandwiches. I think it tastes the same as regular mayonnaise, but do you think it would work for this or should I just get some regular mayo?
It should work just fine.
This recipe is so good! Lightened up the Srirachi sauce by using greek yogurt & coconut milk and used the leftover sauce to make some tuna salad today.
I have huge sides of salmon steaks marinating in the fridge right now for a dinner party tonight. The hubby walked in this morning while I was making the teriyaki sauce and commented that it smelled amazing. Can’t wait to eat it later!!
I’ve made this a bunch of times, it’s unreal. I’ve used salmon & chicken, both awesome. My boyfriend is the pickiest eater, doesn’t like fish, & always asks for seconds!! Thanks for this staple, it seriously rules.
I know!! my husband is the same way, Im thinking of doing the same thing tonight. What was the cooking time for the chicken??
Thanks 😀
In an effort to be healthy, I am trying to eat more fish. The only problem is that I hate cooked salmon but since I know you start liking new foods once your pallet has tasted them a couple times, I’ve been forcing myself.
Honestly, this recipe is pretty good! I usually hate salmon but with the mayo and hot sauce, it tasted pretty damn awesome!
This review really just set my mind at ease! I love raw salmon in sushi, but every time I have had cooked I have been grossed out! I always thought I was a weirdo. My boyfriend has been pushing me to try cooked salmon, so I chose this recipe to make tonight because I thought that with teriyaki and spicy mayo, anything had to taste good! Thanks for helping to alleviate my worries 🙂
So good!
We make this at least once every other week in our house. We stuff the salmon with Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spicy Jalapeño and always make double the sauce for sandwiches and other things throughout the week. This recipe is a home run as written. #bombdotcom
Just wondering what you garnished with. Obviously chopped green onions, but are those sesame seeds on top?
Yes, I garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Made this last night and everyone liked it! sooo yummy! will make this again soon!
Just made this for dinner! Delicious, can’t wait to have leftovers tomorrow for lunch!
Ohh my goodness, this was incredible! Thank you for this delicious recipe. It’s honestly the best salmon I’ve ever had. Your recipes never let me down.
Finally made this last night and it was delicious! My husband and I both loved it. Can’t wait for the leftovers tonight.
I just made this for dinner and it was delicious! My boyfriend loved the dish as well, especially the sriracha mayo. He’s a sucker for anything spicy! I will certainly be making this in the future. By the way, I love the blog. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been nothing short of amazing. Keep doing what you do!
I marinated this overnight for my husband & I, it was SO good & SO flavorful! One filet didn’t seem like enough!! Thank you for this recipe!
Made this dish last night! It was so delicious, and I loved the Sriracha mayo! Perfection!
Is there a chance I could you a premade teryaki sauce? Will it still taste the same?
Heather, you can certainly use store-bought teriyaki sauce but please understand that using the specified ingredients listed in the recipe will lead to the best results in this dish. That being said, I do not think this dish will taste the same with this substitution. At the end of the day, nothing beats homemade!
