Ingredients
  

  • 4 filets salmon about 1½ pounds, skins on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (116 g)
  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce (66 g)
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • chives chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over salmon on all sides and gently rub it in. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over the salmon filets.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well and divide the sauce in half.
  5. Using ½ cup of sauce, evenly brush it over the salmon filets.
  6. Place the salmon onto the lined baking sheet, skin-side down, leaving space between each filet.
  7. 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.
  8. Transfer the salmon to a plate and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chives.
  9. Serve warm with rice.
