This Broiled Thai Sweet Chili Salmon combines juicy salmon with a tangy, homemade Thai sweet chili sauce. Broiled to perfection, it offers a caramelized top while the inside remains tender and moist.

Ingredients

6 x 6 oz wild salmon fillets, skin on or off

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce, divided

2 – 3 tbsp green onions, finely chopped

Cooking spray (such as Misto)

Instructions

  1. Make the Thai sweet chili sauce or use store-bought (I recommend Thai Kitchen brand).
  2. In a large baking dish, add the salmon fillets in a single layer. Sprinkle each fillet with a pinch of salt and top with 1 tbsp of Thai sweet chili sauce. Brush or rub the sauce to coat the fish evenly on the top, bottom, and sides. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results (up to 24 hours).
  3. Preheat the oven’s broiler on High and position the top rack about 5″ – 6″ below the heat source. Line a large baking sheet with foil or a silicone mat and spray with cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable). Coat the salmon with any remaining marinade.
  4. Broil for 8 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the top of each fillet with 2 tsp of Thai sweet chili sauce. Return the salmon to the oven and broil for an additional 5 minutes or until the salmon has caramelized.
  5. Serve the salmon hot, garnished with green onions and extra sauce (if desired), along with brown rice or quinoa and a salad.

Notes

  • Use different fish: You can use other types of fish, such as trout or halibut, for a similar result.
  • Add a spicy kick: Add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade or sauce if you like more heat.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute the salmon with tofu or tempeh for a plant-based version.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  • Freezing: Freeze the cooked salmon for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
