Broiled Salmon with Thai Sweet Chili Glaze

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.
Broiled Salmon with Thai Sweet Chili Glaze
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs (or four 6-oz pieces) salmon, skin on or off
- 6 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce (best quality, such as Mae Ploy or Thai Kitchen)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger, from a 1-in (2.5-cm) knob
- 2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Set the oven rack 5 to 6 inches (12 to 15 cm) from the top and preheat the broiler.
- Make the marinade by combining the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and ginger in a shallow baking dish. Spoon ¼ (60 ml) 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 the 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 to 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.

I try quite a few salmon recipes and this was so easy and flavorful. We enjoyed the mix of ginger, soy and sweet chili! 😉
I made this salmon countless time,it is sooo good. And its so very easy to do, and simple ingredients. That the way I get my family to eat salmon. Thank you!
Absolutely delicious. I baked the salmon at 425 F rather than use the broiler. The recipe turned out fabulous.
I made this on a weekday evening– it was so easy and delicious! My husband said it tasted like “food from a restaurant.” I did need to cook the salmon for sightly longer than recommended but the pieces were fairly thick. I will make this again!
This salmon recipe also works for Steelhead Salmon. Everyone I make this for is delighted and I give them the link to your site.
This is one of our go to meals- so easy even my husband can make ! Very simple for a busy night!
