Description
Prepare quick, flavorful salmon bites coated in a sticky sweet chili lime glaze. This recipe works well for appetizers or a light main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the salmon fillet into uniform 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, lime zest, minced garlic, and ground ginger to create the glaze.
- Pour half of the glaze over the salmon cubes. Gently toss to coat all pieces evenly. Reserve the remaining half of the glaze for brushing later.
- Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and brush the tops of the salmon bites with the reserved glaze.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is sticky.
- Serve immediately as appetizers or over rice.
Notes
- For air fryer preparation, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through cooking.
- You can substitute honey for a portion of the sweet chili sauce if you prefer a thicker glaze.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or sesame seeds before serving.
