Sweet and Spicy Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce, served with Rice and Soy Sauce Sautéed Zucchini and Yellow Squash.

Yuuuuummmm this was a good one :) and it's really healthy too!
For the sauce I put in a bowl 1/3 a cup of sweet chili sauce.
1/4 a cup of soy sauce.
1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
3 garlic cloves grated in.
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger grated in.
Then I took 1lb of salmon and spooned the glaze over each salmon filet. Then I let it sit and marinate for 20 minutes. Then put it under the broiler for 8 minutes.
For the Sriracha cream sauce I started with a tablespoon and 1/2 of Sriracha.
1 tablespoon of light mayo.
1/2 a cup of light sour cream, the orginal recipe called for yogurt but I didn't have any. If you use the yogurt it makes the salmon only 4 points in weight watchers numbers!
1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice. And a pinch of salt. Mix then I put mine in a plastic baggy and cut the corner so it would drizzel out over the salmon.
For the veggies I sautéed 1/3 cup of diced onion in some olive oil.
Sliced 1 yellow squash and 1 zucchini in disks and threw those in with the onions after they softened.
When they are golden brown I threw in like 2 tsp of soy sauce and mixed that in.
I cooked up some plain white rice and put a scoop down, topped with the salmon, drizzled the Sriracha sauce, and layered the veggies. Then I curled some green onions in ice water for decoration!

  1. Made this tonight and it was fantastic!! I did make a couple of tweaks. I did use greek yogurt in the sauce; used spicy chilli sauce instead of the sweet chili sauce in the marinade; substituted Liquid Bragg Aminos for the soy sauce throughout and added garlic salt to the veggies. The hubby really loved the sauce!!
