Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed if frozen)
Marinade and Sauce
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Garnish
- 2 green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the dish.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Bake Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Serve: Once baked, drizzle the remaining sauce over the salmon, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately for a delicious and vibrant meal.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh salmon fillets to retain the delicate texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference for more or less pungency.
- Sweet chili sauce can vary in sweetness and spiciness, so taste and adjust lime juice if needed.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to balance the bold flavors.
- If you prefer crispier skin, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
