These honey sriracha glazed grilled salmon skewers offer a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors with a sticky caramelized glaze, ideal for quick and easy BBQs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1.5-inch cubes (fresh, wild-caught if possible)
  • 1/4 cup honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  2. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and cut into 1.5-inch cubes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Adjust heat or sweetness as desired.
  4. Toss the salmon cubes gently in half of the glaze, reserving the rest for basting. Marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Carefully thread salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Oil the grates slightly to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, brushing the reserved glaze generously on each side during cooking.
  8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with lime wedges.

Notes

Do not over-marinate the salmon to avoid mushy texture. Brush glaze multiple times during grilling for a sticky, flavorful crust. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning. Let salmon come to room temperature and pat dry before marinating for best results. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option. Can substitute maple syrup for honey for different sweetness.
