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.
