Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Salmon and Veggies
Description
Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Salmon and Veggies features salmon filets glazed with a sauce of Thai sweet chili, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. The salmon cooks in the oven surrounded by thin asparagus and red bell pepper strips that are drizzled with olive oil and lightly seasoned. The cooking technique includes baking at high heat, then finishing under the broiler to develop a light browning on the salmon surface. The vegetables soften but retain some snap, balancing the salmon's tender texture.
The sauce provides a sweet and mildly tangy flavor pairing well with the natural richness of the salmon. The garnishing with sesame seeds adds a nutty hint, and the scallions bring a fresh onion note that cuts through the richness.
This dish can be served straight from the baking sheet or plated individually, making it convenient for weekday dinners or modest gatherings. The mix of vegetables and protein on one pan lowers cleanup and preparation time.
