This is my new go-to for salmon. Follow the recipe as written. It turns out great!!
Alyssa Richardson
This recipe is a keeper! I added a little extra honey, but other than that it was amazing! The sweet heat made the flavor so good.
Arthur Estrada PhD
Very tasty dish. The hot sauce is there but it’s not overwhelming due to the brown sugar. I put the recommended amount of sugar didn’t want it to be to sweet. It was amazingly easy to make. Will definitely be a repeat.
Mary Bush
This recipe was easy to make and is tasty. I have used it on other types of filet and it worked out great.
Mr. Robert Jones DDS
Decent flavor, added chili paste to give more kick
Richard Ortiz
I make this allll the time…I have tried it with tilapia & swai as well and it is always great! It is a staple fish recipe and I just use regular old Frank’s hot sauce. I also use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh and its still great. Only change I make is I season the fish before I pour on the sauce. I serve it with broccoli & mashed potatoes and it is always a hit! Thank you for giving me a consistent, awesome fish recipe!
Justin Davis
Loved this! Made exactly as written and wouldn’t change a thing. The flavors were perfectly balanced.
Melanie Potter
This is a great addition to your recipe collection! The salmon comes out sweet and also a little, tiny bit spicy. Nothing too overpowering. I personally omit the green onions but otherwise this recipe is good to go as is – just make sure to use Franks Red Hot sauce or something similar for the best flavor. Enjoy!

This fish recipe is really really good!!! I made this ahead of time and ended up marinating the fish for about a day before baking it. The spicy kick is well balanced with the sweet. I can’t taste the lemon, so I am not sure what the purpose of the lemon is. I eat it with fresh green onion and red onion. I am sure it’s great with cilantro as well. Yumm!!!! Thank you for posting this recipe!

Great! I served with white rice and egg drop soup. We also ended up using extra sauce for drizzling and dipping. We loved it. Note: I am not a huge hot sauce fan but no need to worry about heat, I made just as recipe read. Note2: if you are wanting a strong salmon flavor in this recipe the salmon flavor itself does not stand out very much but the texture of the fish makes it.
Stacey Smith
This was ok but the flavors didnt really come out in the end.
Jasmine Ross
Easy to throw together and usually served with a salad and bleu cheese/ranch on the side. We think it’s Delish and it has been requested over and over.
Cristian Randall
I made this last night and both me and my boyfriend thought it was great! very easy prep work and great taste!

TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Loved everything about this recipe…I followed the directions exactly (although I am not sure if my pepper sauce was the same kind, I used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce). Only downside….I should have doubled the sauce recipe! SO GOOD! You must try this!!
Darlene Johnson
I was looking for a non-soy sauce based salmon dish. This looked promising because I had all the ingredients and I love spicy food. I’m sorry but I didn’t care for it at all. I have variety of hot sauce and couldn’t decide which one I should use so I used half hot wing sauce and half Asian rooster sauce.
Casey Mcknight
We enjoyed this recipe for the most part, but I felt that the flavor of the hot sauce really masked the flavor of the salmon. This recipe would be well-suited for a person who isn’t crazy about salmon.
Daniel Baker
BAD BAD BAD. I don’t know how this gets such high ratings, unless the secret is in what brand of hot sauce you buy. I used Louisianna Hot Sauce and all I could taste was that, along with a fishy taste now and again. My fish turned out kinda mushy too and I even cooked it for 30 minutes. Yuck.
Molly Gonzalez
This is super tasty! The salmon flavor does not stand out very well, but if you don’t like fishy flavor you might like this. Yummy.
Taylor Nguyen
Excellent recipe as is! The whole family said it was great!
Tyler Gould
It was good, I enjoyed the flavor. However, from reading other posts I thought it would be much more mild in heat. So I gave this to my husband and now he has the hiccups, he gets them for days from spicy food. I will make it again but next time less hot sauce (Tapatio) and more honey.
Ryan Ruiz
This was a nice change in pace from what I normally find to do with my salmon. However, I didn’t have a 2lb fillet, so I decreased the ingredients proportionally. Nor did I know from reading the directions (maybe it’s stupidity) whether or not to take the salmon out of the marinade and place it on another pan or just cook it in the dish it marinated in. TAKE IT OUT — it’s been a week and I’m still trying to scrape the burned sauce from the pan (And yes, I did use a smaller pan for marinating since I had less fish). But overall the flavor wasn’t bad! Definitely something I may come back to after a while. 🙂
