In a small pot combine honey, sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.

Season both sides of the salmon fillets with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets upside-down and fry for 3 minutes until golden.

Carefully flip the salmon and add butter to the pan, basting the salmon for 1-2 minutes until golden and close to cooked through.

Pour in the honey sriracha sauce and lower the heat to medium, spooning the sauce over the salmon until it thickens and the salmon is cooked to your liking.

Serve the salmon fillets over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and spring onion, with lime wedges on the side.
