Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 (6 oz) salmon filets about 1.5 lbs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Sauce

Garnish

  • 2 stalks green onion finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the Thai sweet chili sauce, sambal oelek, mustard, soy sauce, and garlic. Mix until combined and set aside.
  • Cook the sauce. In a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add the sauce and stir until it reaches a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add salmon. Place the salmon skin side down and cook for 2 minutes while spooning the sauce over it.
  • Broil. Then broil the salmon for 4-5 minutes, until the tops are caramelized and cooked. Then remove the salmon and set it aside.
  • Make the glaze. Place the skillet with the sauce over medium-high heat on the stove and add 1/4 cup of water. Mix until combined and simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Garnish. Drizzle the sweet chili glaze over the salmon, garnish with green onion and serve.
