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!

This sounds so good. I made a different salmon recipe tonight and it just didn’t turn out as I expected. So this is the next one I will try. My hubby LOVES sriracha on everything so I’m sure this will be a hit!
Salmon is currently marinating. I’m super excited to eat this tonight. To the teriyaki I added the juice of one orange, & the zest. Didn’t have garlic powder or ground ginger, but I had the fresh equivalents. SO YUMMY! The sriracha sauce is so good too! Took the other posters advice about using Greek yogurt! Yum! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
This was so delicious! Left cornstarch out of marinade and made cream sauce with just Greek yogurt and siracha. Worked out perfectly! Put stop white rice and green beans sautéed with shallots. My husband loved it.
Made this tonight and absolutely loved it! I usually don’t comment but this was so good! The best part was that it was so easy! Will definitely be a staple in my recipe book! Thanks for sharing!!
Our family loves this recipe, thank you!
I’ve done it once and I’ll do it again. It’s delicious and easy to make.
Everybody loved it and were impressed ! Perfect ! 🙂
I’m going to make this for my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day! We love siracha anything 😉
Just wanted to write a note to say I made this for the first time last night and it was delicious. Exactly as described! And my husband loved it too!
best. salmon. ever.
add a bit more siriracha too. yummm
I ended up making this recipe for my family because it looked simple and quick to make so I decided to try it. I never really liked salmon before. I tried the first bite and I must say that it is delicious…so delicious that I made this recipe 3 days in a row! This is now my “go to” recipe for yummy salmon! Thanks!
Hello!
I will be making this for dinner tonight, but I was wondering if I can substitute mayo for miracle whip??
Thanks
Miracle Whip should work just fine.
AMAZING!! SOOO tasty and easy! It was a huge hit at a dinner party. MAKE THIS!
We loved this as a salmon dish so we decided to try it on wings. We ended up winning our family wing contest with this recipe! Thanks for a great versatile recipe!
Made this for dinner tonight for my husband, his friend, and myself. I’ve got to say, my husband was put of by the fish in teriyaki sauce and doesn’t like shirachi sauce; so he was a bit closed minded the part of it. BUT who cares about that. The friend and I thought it was great! The creamy shirachi sauce absolutely makes the dish and I’m pretty sure that’s why my hubby didn’t like it. That and he thought it was chicken when he saw it.
I’m making this for dinner tonight! I can’t wait!!
Made it, and it was damn delicious. Everyone loved it. I made an additional avocado salsa to serve on the side and it added a lot of freshness. Served over white rice.
oh this was super good!!! I use a different sriracha sauce recipe on mine but the salmon alone was amazing!! I ate it 2 days in a row, twice the second day cause it was lunch and dinner lol, will def be making this over and over!! Thanks!!
Made this tonight since I had a slab of salmon and all of the ingredients in the pantry. It was so simple that my 10-year-old son was able to make the sauces. This was a quick and easy dinner and everyone, even my mother aka “She-who-shall-not-eat-seafood” loved it. (Everyone, except grandma, went back for seconds). Because of the amount of salmon we had on hand, we doubled the teriyaki sauce. The sriracha made a large enough batch for all of our salmon, plus about 3oz to slather on other things. It is sooo good it will be going on MANY other things! Thanks for a quick and delish recipe that will be added to our regular rotation.
Made this recipe the other night and it was a hit ! The sauce is so delicious that I could drink it ! (but I will refrain lol). I will be making this regularly.
Thanks so much for sharing
Chungah, do you think cooking this salmon in a slow cooker would work? I’ve never made fish that way before, but I have a tendency to over cook things, and maybe that would help.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried cooking salmon in the slow cooker.
