Sweet Chilli Salmon
Sweet Chilli Salmon features baked salmon fillets brushed with a tangy sweet chilli and soy-based glaze that includes lime juice, honey, and garlic. The salmon is roasted until flaky, then finished with a thickened syrup of the reserved glaze for extra flavor and a glossy appearance. Garnished with fresh coriander, this recipe balances sweet and savory tastes with a hint of citrus from the lime juice.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic Minced
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Coriander Garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 200°C/400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush the sweet chilli mixture over each fillet, reserving a small amount for later use.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until it's fully cooked and flaky.
- While the salmon is cooking, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
- Next, add the reserved sweet chilli sauce mixture to the pan and bring it to a simmer.
- Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the sweet chilli sauce over each fillet.
- For garnish, you can add some freshly chopped coriander or parsley, if desired. Serve the sweet chilli salmon immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
- Make sure to reserve some of the sweet chilli mixture before brushing on salmon to create the finishing sauce.
- Serve the salmon shortly after baking to enjoy its tender, flaky texture.
- Fresh coriander adds a fresh note and can be substituted with parsley if preferred.
