Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed if frozen)

Marinade and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the salmon evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the dish for optimal cooking.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lime juice to create a tangy, flavorful marinade.
  4. Marinate the Salmon: Pour half of the prepared sauce over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated, and let them marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  5. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
  6. Add Final Touches: Remove the salmon from the oven, drizzle the remaining sweet chili sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh, colorful presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh or high-quality thawed salmon.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and lime juice to suit your taste preferences.
  • You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice if needed.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the marinade.
