Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended to create the sweet chili glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously brush the sweet chili glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Tips
- For added crunch, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha to the glaze.
- This glaze also works beautifully with other fish or chicken, so feel free to experiment!
