Broiled Salmon with Thai Sweet Chili Glaze
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy. Marinated in sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and ginger, this broiled salmon makes a super-easy weeknight dinner. In this super-easy weeknight recipe, salmon fillets are quickly marinated in Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and ginger, then broiled to achieve a luscious caramelized finish. While this dish is undeniably easy to prepare, the flavors are anything but ordinary. Thai sweet chili sauce, a delicious blend of red chilies, vinegar, sugar, and garlic, has a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the rich salmon perfectly. This sauce is one of the best condiments to keep in your kitchen. For more ways to use it, try my Thai-style sweet red chili shrimp or use it as a dipping sauce for Asian appetizers like spring rolls or crispy coconut shrimp.

Make the marinade by combining the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and ginger in a shallow baking dish. Spoon ¼ cup of the marinade into a small dish and set aside (this will be the sauce for the cooked fish). Add the salmon fillets, skin side up, to the remaining marinade and marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin side down, and drizzle a bit of the marinade over top. Go easy -- you don't want it to pool too much on the baking sheet because it will burn in the oven. Broil the salmon for 6-10 minutes, or until browned in spots and almost opaque in the center. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and pour the reserved sauce over top. Garnish with scallions and serve. Note: Check out easy guidance on how to peel, grate, and chop fresh ginger here.
