Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Salmon Fillet
- ½ cup Sweet Chili Sauce plus more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat each salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and place on the parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
- Brush a generous amount of sweet chili sauce over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. You can use a pastry brush or spoon to apply the sauce.
- Bake the fillets in the middle rack for about 15 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and continue cooking the salmon for several minutes (about 3 minutes) until the top is nicely caramelized and golden brown. Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling to prevent burning. The internal temperature of the salmon should be 145°F (63°C).
Notes
- Ensure that the sweet chili sauce is evenly coated on each salmon fillet to achieve consistent flavor.
- Keep an eye on the salmon while it's baking, especially when it is broiling the last few minutes. Salmon can dry out quickly if cooked for too long.
- Allow the cooked salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute.
