Description
Baked Salmon with Sweet Chili Sauce is an easy oven baked salmon recipe made with tender salmon fillets, sweet chili glaze, garlic, soy sauce, and lime for a quick seafood dinner packed with sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them on the prepared pan.
3. Drizzle the salmon lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice until smooth.
5. Spoon or brush the sauce evenly over the salmon fillets.
6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, then serve warm.
Notes
Line the pan well so the sweet chili glaze does not stick while baking.
Fresh lime juice gives the sauce a brighter flavor than bottled juice.
Let the salmon rest briefly before serving so the juices settle and the glaze stays in place.
