Ingredients

  • 1.50 to 2 pounds skin-on salmon
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup Sweet chili sauce
  • ¼ cup stone ground grainy Dijon mustard you want to see the actual mustard seeds
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce or to taste (use less or none if you're very sensitive to heat)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • lemon juice optional for garnishing
  • fresh basil cilantro or parsley, optional for garnishing
  • salt and pepper optional and to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (use convection if you have it), place a heavy-duty sheet of foil on a sheet pan, slightly curve up the edges to prevent liquids from rolling off, place the salmon skin-side-down in the center, and evenly drizzle with olive oil; set aside.
  2. To a medium bowl, add the sweet chili sauce, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, honey, and stir to combine.
  3. Spoon mixture over the salmon. Naturally some will roll off and down the sides and pool at the base of the salmon, this is okay.
  4. Bake the salmon for 10 to 15 minutes, or until nearly done. Turn on broiler to High.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, re-distribute any pooled sauce at the base of the salmon by spooning it back into the center of the salmon, and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until as lightly browned around the edges as desired.
  6. Remove salmon from the oven, and optionally garnish with lemon juice and fresh herbs, optionally add salt and pepper (this is a rare situation where I used neither because the sauce items had sufficient saltiness and heat for us), and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Broiling Tips - Keep an extremely close eye on your salmon while it's under the broiler because it can go from underdone to burnt in less than 1 minute. You don't have to broil on the top rack and can use the second rack. Although using the second rack will take longer, you'll be less likely to burn it if you're not experienced using a broiler.
  • Storage: Salmon is best fresh but extra will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.
