Print Recipe

This irresistible Sweet Chili Garlic Salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon glazed with a sticky-sweet, slightly spicy sauce that’s packed with flavor. Quick to make and perfect for both busy weeknights and elegant dinners!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, lime wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil.

  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Brush the glaze generously over each fillet.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  • For extra caramelization, broil during the last 1-2 minutes — but keep a close eye on it!

 

  • Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake: Salmon cooks quickly! Check at 12 minutes to avoid drying it out.

  • Customize the spice: Add Sriracha or red pepper flakes if you like it hotter.

  • Substitute options: No sweet chili sauce? Make a quick version with honey, vinegar, ketchup, and chili flakes.

  • Leftovers: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

 

  • Perfect pairing: Serve over steamed rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh cucumber salad.
