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
Marinated in sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and ginger, this broiled salmon makes a super-easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds (or four 6-ounce 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 (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger (see note)
- 2 scallions, green parts only, finely sliced
Instructions
- Set the oven rack 5-6 inches 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 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 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 6-10 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.

Looking for a rice recipe that would pair well with the salmon? Can’t wait to try
Hi Derek, I think this goes perfectly with jasmine rice. Also, just a heads up that I have a feature on the website– for all main dishes, I suggest one or two sides that I think would pair nicely with them. To see what I’ve suggested, scroll down to the bottom of the recipe. Immediately under the recipe, you’ll see said dishes that I’ve suggested. Hope that helps!
this is the most amazing recipe!!!
thank you SO much
best salmon I have ever tasted
I thought there was also a video for this recipe? I can’t seem to find the link to the videos anymore on the website. Thanks!
Here it is, Barbara. And you can find all my videos here. Hope that helps and that you enjoy the salmon if you make it!
Thank you very much Jenn, I love the video and can’t wait to make this wonderful salmon dish!
I made this a couple of months ago and will make it again tonight because it was out-of-this-world DELICIOUS!
The only thing I did differently, is I grilled it instead of putting in the broiler.
Just made the Broiled Salmon with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. Delicious. Husband said to put it in the rotation after the first bite. Served with “Chipotle” Cilantro Lime Rice from the SkinnyTaste website and asparagus. Thank you Jenn, another wonderful, quick and easy recipe
I have made this several times and it is foolproof except in my oven I need 12 minutes for it to cook. Tastes delicious and looks so professional. Such a quick easy meal to prepare. Thanks Jen!
Jenn – another hit!
We almost always grill our salmon but with the polar vortex bearing down on Massachusetts today, I had to change the dinner plan to avoid frostbite. I was able to put this together in about 5 minutes and pop it in the oven. I didn’t marinate it and it still turned out absolutely delicious. I started off by broiling, but it was browning on top while still raw in the middle, so I switched to convection bake at 400 to finish it off. I am prone to over cooking fish so I used my instant thermometer and pulled the salmon out at 120 degrees and let it sit for a few minutes. This will be my go to salmon recipe when grilling isn’t an option.
This is so very good. Restaurant good! So easy and impressive.
SO GOOD! Definitely making this again!
