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.

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.
