Good to the Last Drop

That's it on the far left... Sriracha
I don't know about you but there's one condiment that has become part of our refrigerator door and although it is used regularly whether to kick up any dish like one of our homemade canned soups/ add to mayo for a sushi/veggie dip, it seems to last forever. When I noticed our bottle getting low, I made sure its replacement was awaiting in the cupboards. What condiment I am talking about is Sriracha, a Thai hot chili sauce consisting of chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. 

Last week Natureman decided to add some water to what was remaining in our old bottle and add it to our End of the Year Garden Soup. Whoa, my lips were still burning after the meal. But is there such a thing as a good burn? Luckily, he had toasted a piece of bread to accompany it and I was going to add a dollop of sour cream to my bowl anyway. You can tell our household thinks Sriracha is good to the last drop.

You may have even tried it unknowingly and just couldn't figure out what it was unless you don't care for spicy hot. Last night the new bottle was opened and I tried a new marinade for fish. 
A definite two thumbs up. 
Don't worry you can adjust the amount of Sriracha...


Here's what you will need:

Sauce pan for to make fish marinade 
Baking pan
Sheet of aluminum foil
Cooking spray
Brush


Fish 3-4 pieces (Salmon/Wall eye, we had the latter ...) 

2 T melted butter
1/3 c honey
1/3 c Sriracha
1 T minced garlic
2T soy sauce
2 limes (juice one, slice thinly second)
2 T fresh chopped cilantro to sprinkle atop cooked fish.

Line cooking pan with foil.
Spray foil with oil
Place lime slices of one lime down,
Salt and pepper fish both sides
Place fish atop lime slices
Crunch foil like a boat around fish to contain sauce. (prevents messy clean up)

Sauce: Bring to boil butter, honey, sriracha, garlic, soy sauce and lime juice. Brush sauce all over fish. Coat completely.
Save remaining sauce to add later if desired.

Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes. 
Broil just enough for ends to curl (3-4min)
Serve after sprinkling on some cilantro.

It's pretty and Deeeelish.
