Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon
Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon is super easy, baked on a sheet pan with a simple glaze made with sweet red chili sauce, sriracha, and ginger.
Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon
Salmon is my favorite fish, which I am sure you can tell as I have tons of salmon recipes. Some favorites are Basil-Parmesan Salmon, Air Fryer Salmon with Maple Soy Glaze, and Asian Salmon Bowls. This sweet and spicy version may be added to my new list of favorites! It's simple (only five ingredients) and delicious.
Guys I love salmon, but it's pretty hard for me to choose a favorite recipe, since I have so many. When I tested this recipe, I instantly fell in love! The easy homemade salmon glaze packs so much flavor with just three ingredients. The sweet red chili glaze adds sweetness and caramelization, the sriracha adds a little heat, and the ginger gives it a warm, pungent flavor.
Why is salmon good for you?
Salmon is a very healthy and nutritious fish. It's full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help decrease blood pressure and inflammation. Omega-3s are “essential†fats, meaning your body can't make them, so you have to get them from foods in your diet. Salmon is also high in protein, vitamins B12 and D, selenium, and potassium.
How to Cook Salmon Fillets
This healthy baked salmon recipe is so easy to make. I cook these sweet and spicy salmon fillets in the oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. The salmon is done when the inside turns semi-opaque, and it flakes easily. If you wanted to make cleanup even quicker, line the sheet pan with foil.
What to Serve with Glazed Salmon
This baked salmon would be wonderful with roasted veggies, like asparagus or brussels sprouts and butternut squash, as a side. You could even double the salmon sauce and pour it on the vegetables. Here are some more side dish ideas:
- Steamed Rice
- Brown Rice
- Steamed bok choy or broccoli
- Sesame Orange Broccoli
- Spicy Garlic Edamame
- Cauliflower Fried Rice
- Asian Edamame Fried Rice

This was so good! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. It was different than what I would expect for salmon but in a good way!
This was super simple to makke, but had tons of flavor. We will definitely be making it again, and I'll be using the glaze recipe for lots of other proteins.
The glaze was delish! Definitely save extra for drizzling on while you're eating. We probably did more salmon than the recipe called for (I didn't weigh it out) but it did take a lot longer than 10 min. for 5 small to medium filets it took about 40 min and I had to bump up the temp to 425 and cover the pan with foil half way through. Still a great dish! Will definitely make again!!
This was disappointing. Thought there would be a match of sweet and heat but it was just meh. Maybe I need a better Thai sweet chilli sauce.
Can't compete with the Gojujang glazed salmon!,
Very tasty!!
This was excellent! Â Soo, so tasty, and very easy. Â Used air fryer. Â Came out perfectly. Â I will definitely make this again.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit! My husband doesn't eat fish, so I made double the sauce and put half on boneless skinless chicken breast. Worked great and so easy! I served it with brown rice and steamed green beans.Â
Great yes its also great on pork.
Lol, fish isn't vegetarian. That's pescatarian.
True. But the sauce is very flavorful. It would be delicious with tofu.
I love the variation of this in your cookbook, but adding grated ginger is next level!
This was awesome!! Super easy and flavorful, perfect to add to the weeknight line up!! Will definitely be making again!Â
Best salmon ever! So tasty and easy! Made it with the Air Fryer. It was “dÃlicieux”. Thanks Gina for your amazing recipes from Canada.
My favorite salmon recipe is the Gochujang Salmon which we eat at least once a week.
Like you Gina, we crave salmon grilled, broiled or baked. I'm guessing I'll find Sweet Red Chili Sauce with Asian foods, so we'll give it a whirl. I'm banking on 5 stars without yet trying it!
I think this may be mislabeled as vegetarian looks good though!
