This sweet and spicy Firecracker salmon is delicious. The salmon fillets are marinated in soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. You can tone down the hot sauce if you don’t want it too spicy. The salmon is then seared in a pan on both sides until cooked through and crispy. Serve with rice and stir-fried vegetables for an easy weeknight meal.
