Instructions:

1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, red pepper flakes, vinegar, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour marinade over the salmon and let it sit for 15–30 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
3. Pan-Fry the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from the marinade (reserve excess marinade) and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Reduce the Sauce: In the same pan, pour in the leftover marinade and simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Serve: Drizzle the thickened sauce over the salmon and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds. Serve with rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
