  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 3 Tbsp. Sriracha

  • Drizzle half of the Sriracha honey butter over the salmon to evenly coat, reserving the rest of the butter for serving.
  • Place the salmon in the oven on the middle-upper rack (about 6 inches from the heat source).
  • Broil the salmon, keeping a close eye on it, until cooked to medium in the center, about 6 minutes.
