Sweet Chili-Glazed Salmon
Salmon has health benefits like no other fish or meat on any menu: on top, of course, of being a great source of protein, potassium, and B vitamins. Besides that, salmon is also one of the best ways to get omega-3 fatty acids and is known to help with weight control and reduce the risk of heart disease. Sweet chili-glazed salmon is a flavorful, delicious, and healthy dinner for you.
Ingredients:
- 1⁄4 cup Asian-style sweet chili sauce
- 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp sriracha or other spicy chili sauce
- 4 salmon fillets, 4–6 oz each (When possible, buy wild salmon. It may be more expensive, but it's lower in PCBs, toxins, and mercury than most farmed varieties. Plus, it just tastes better).
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and sriracha in a mixing bowl.
- Place the salmon fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Use a brush or a spoon to lacquer the salmon with the chili glaze.
- Bake the salmon until the glaze has begun to lightly caramelize and the salmon flakes with gentle pressure, about 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Salmon is unlike any other fish or meat in terms of its health advantages. In addition to being a fantastic source of protein, potassium, and B vitamins, salmon is also one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to aid in weight management and lower the risk of heart disease. This recipe is savory, scrumptious, and a nutritious way to fill up on salmon.
