Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces skin-on salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil to form the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet, reserving a small amount for later.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
In the last 2-3 minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil on high and brush the remaining glaze over the salmon. Broil until the top is caramelized and slightly charred, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish the roasted salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
