Honey Sriracha Salmon with Baby Beans

Yum

When we were in Wisconsin last month, we met up with a wonderful family at this rain-forest themed restaurant. It’s a pretty cool place with moving ‘animals’, the sounds they make, and thunderstorms too. It does feel like we were dining in the rain-forest. Because there were so many things going on in the restaurant, it pretty much kept the kids occupied while the adults visited. 

It wasn’t our first visit to the restaurant. I usually order myself the spiciest entree I can find on the menu, which is a jambalaya pasta. But maybe because it was the festive season, the restaurant had a special menu. So when I saw Honey Sriracha Salmon on Rice, I had to restrain myself from jumping for joy. I mean, that combination can never go wrong! And I wonder why I’ve never though of making it for the blog before! 

Better late than never right? So here is my version of Honey Sriracha Salmon, inspired by what I had at the Rainforest Cafe. I made the girls’ portion separately without the Sriracha. All of us at home could not get enough of that delicious piece of fish! The whole dish took me about 10 minutes to prep, and another 10 minutes to cook. Super quick and delicious weeknight meal that you will want to put on your rotation list.

    I was Taking cues from your zichar style malay mee Goreng post when I saw this.

    If it’s not too troublesome. Try sous vide-ing the salmon 49deg C 45min based on the similar slice size you posted and follow by frying on high heat to crisp the skin. You be amazed by the creamy-ness of the salmon on top the added texture of the crispy skin that you pan fry.

    I can never do blog posts because I always the mouth over rules the mind to take a proper photo with presentation. :p

    I enjoy all your posts. Keep it up 🙂

      Thanks for the suggestion! I’d love to try it once I get myself a new toy (sous vide machine). 🙂 But it does sound like a dream!

    I had this at Rainforest Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom last week. It was SO good. Very tasty. I do not like hot and spicy things so I won’t add the sriracha but I can’t wait to try this recipe. So glad I found it on your blog. And the veggies were so delicious. I’m going to try it just as this is written with the rice and veggies but minus the sriracha. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
