Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated, optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Optional Side Pairings:
- Steamed jasmine rice or brown rice
- Stir-fried vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
- Roasted baby potatoes or quinoa
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger (if using), and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Season and Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Using a basting brush, coat each fillet generously with the marinade, making sure the top and sides are fully covered. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes for deeper flavor absorption.
Step 4: Bake the Salmon
Transfer the tray to the preheated oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbling. You can also broil the salmon for an additional 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and serve with lime wedges and your choice of side dishes.
