These Sriracha Salmon Quesadillas are a great way to use leftover salmon. And they're not only delicious, but super quick and easy to make.
Versatile Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple and easy, plus delicious, way to fill up. And the glorious thing is, you can put just about anything between those tortillas, along with the cheese. Have you tried my Roasted Red Pepper Quesadillas? If you don't normally think of salmon for quesadillas, you are in for a delicious surprise!
Here's All You Need
- Cooked (or canned) salmon
- Cheese I like Monterey Jack cheese for Mexican inspired recipes, but any cheese will work as long as it melts
- Tortillas Use flour or corn tortillas. If you need your quesadillas to be gluten-free, use corn, but check the label because some brands also add wheat flour to corn tortillas.
- Sriracha sauce Sriracha works well with salmon, but you can also use any hot sauce that you have on hand.
What To Serve with Quesadillas
These salmon quesadillas are especially good with Mango Avocado Salsa. Or have a salad along with them. We like them with Southwestern Quinoa Salad or Grilled Corn & Black Bean Salad

Quesadillas are always a quick go-to meal around our house, too. I've never thought to put salmon in them before, but these sound delicious!
Colleen
Thanks Natalie, I know, quesadillas are such a perfect quick, but delicious meal. Salmon wasn't something I normally would use, but surprisingly, so good!
Dana Sandonato
Omg I could eat these all day. I love salmon, I love Sriracha, and I am a strong defendant of cheese being used with seafood if it's done right. I think this would be delicious!
Colleen
Thanks Dana, and yes, they are delicious 🙂
Cathy
I also love salmon and wouldn't have tried it with cheese other than cream cheese. Thank you for showing us how truly versatile quesadillas can be!
Colleen
You're welcome Cathy! I think the sriracha is what really made it work so well.

I've heard people say sriracha is a fad and on its way out but I'm addicted to it. Last night I used a regular hot sauce and it was just disappointing.
Colleen
Ayngelina, I agree. I was a fan of sriracha well before it became a "fad", and always will be. I'm with you, it's addicting!
