This Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon is an easy yet elegant dish that brings together the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors. Whether you're planning a simple weeknight dinner or looking for a flavorful addition to your Passover menu, this dish fits the occasion with its bold yet effortless preparation.

 

Coated in a rich glaze made from Galil Sweet Chili Sauce and enhanced with LiOR Fish Seasoning, this recipe delivers a beautifully caramelized crust over tender, flaky salmon. With just a handful of ingredients and a quick roasting time, it’s a go-to meal that feels gourmet without requiring hours in the kitchen.

 

The magic of this dish lies in the layering of flavors. The sweet chili sauce thickens and caramelizes as it bakes, creating a glossy finish while keeping the salmon moist. Brushing on an additional layer of sauce in the final minutes of cooking deepens the flavor and enhances the sticky glaze.

 

A drizzle of Galil Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the end adds richness and helps balance out the sweetness of the sauce.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with LiOR Fish Seasoning.

  • 3

    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space for even cooking.

  • 4

    Brush a generous layer of Galil Sweet Chili Sauce over the top of each fillet.

  • 5

    Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For an extra burst of flavor, brush on another thin layer of sweet chili sauce during the last 2 minutes of roasting.

  • 6

    Remove the salmon from the oven. If desired, drizzle with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil.

Notes

How to Get the Best Results

For the best texture, pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning. This helps the spices adhere properly and allows the glaze to form a smooth, even coating. 

Cooking at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes ensures that the salmon stays tender and flaky. You’ll know it’s ready when the fish is opaque and easily flakes apart with a fork. If you prefer a crispier top, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze further.

Letting the salmon rest for a minute after removing it from the oven allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.

This dish pairs well with a variety of sides. A light Mediterranean salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs offers a refreshing contrast, while quinoa pilaf or roasted vegetables such as asparagus and carrots complement the richness of the salmon.

For added texture and freshness, garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top. A squeeze of fresh lime juice enhances the flavors and adds a bright finishing touch.

Tips and Tricks

  • For an extra caramelized glaze, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
  • If cooking for a crowd, roast all the fillets on a large baking sheet to save time.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently or flaked into a salad for an easy next-day meal.
