Print Recipe

A quick and easy baked salmon recipe that delivers crispy skin and a sticky, mildly spicy sweet chili glaze, perfect for a fuss-free yet impressive dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 grams) each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  4. Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil.
  5. Season the salmon evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, adding a little extra salt on the skin side if desired.
  6. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing fillets apart.
  7. Bake for 8 minutes to start cooking the salmon and crisp the skin.
  8. Remove from the oven and brush the top of each fillet generously with sweet chili sauce.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of about 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  10. Let the salmon rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. Serve warm with lime wedges for a bright finish.

Notes

Patting the salmon dry and using a hot oven are key to achieving crispy skin. Brush the sweet chili sauce halfway through baking to caramelize without burning. Do not flip the salmon during baking. Let the salmon rest before serving. For reheating, warm gently in a low oven to preserve crispiness.
