Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

• Sweet chilli sauce. This can be found in the Asian aisle of your grocery store or at any Asian supermarkets.

How to make sweet chilli oven baked salmon

1. Make the glaze: Combine sweet chilli sauce, lemon juice and soy sauce in a measuring jug or bowl.
2. Glaze and bake the salmon: Line an oven-proof dish with parchment paper and add the salmon, skin-side down. Place the salmon in hot oven for 7-10 minutes until sticky and cooked to your preference. I like my salmon medium so I often just cook it under the broiler until well caramelized and sticky but you can keep it in for longer if you want it well-done. Remove the salmon from the oven then serve with side dishes of your choice with glaze drizzle over.

Can I make this ahead?

This salmon is great for meal prepping ahead. The glazed salmon can be covered and refrigerated for a day in advance. The baked salmon can be cooled and transferred to airtight containers and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
