Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and evenly sprinkle the kosher salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on top.
Place the salmon under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
While the salmon is broiling, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together chili paste, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil until smooth and well combined.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the freshly made spicy sauce over the salmon fillets and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
