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.

Teriyaki Salmon With Sriracha Cream Sauce

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

I don’t have ground ginger. Can I substitute fresh ginger?

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.

What is Sriracha?

Sriracha is an Asian-style hot chili sauce and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.

What can I serve this with?

You can serve this with white rice or our favorite no-fuss sheet pan fried rice!
