Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets about 1½ pounds, skins on
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- chives chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add salmon filets to the pan skin side down, leaving space between each filet. Drizzle with olive oil. Gently rub the oil all over the salmon pieces to coat it.
- Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the salmon filets.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well.
- Divide the sauce in half and brush one half over the salmon filets. Reserve the other half.
- Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. (Start checking the salmon after 6 minutes.) The internal temperature of fully cooked salmon is 145°F. For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chives.
- Serve warm with rice.
