Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (4 (6 oz each))
  • Sweet chili sauce (1/4 cup)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
  • Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Generously brush the sweet chili glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
