Description
Delicious broiled salmon fillets with a zesty chili lime sauce and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 5 to 6 ounces each)
- 3 bell peppers (seeded and chopped)
- 1 onion (peeled and cut into wedges)
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 1 orange (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
- ¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to high broil and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. If your pan feels crowded or you want extra vegetables, prepare a second sheet pan as well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange zest and juice, olive oil, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and water. Add the garlic, parsley, cilantro, salt, cumin, and red chili flakes (optional), then whisk again until fully combined.
- Arrange the salmon fillets, bell peppers, and onion on the prepared baking sheet, placing the salmon skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
- Spoon about half of the chili lime sauce over the salmon and vegetables. Gently toss the vegetables to coat, and brush or spoon some of the sauce over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through cooking, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Check that the salmon has reached an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part, then remove it from the oven.
- Serve immediately with the remaining sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with extra cilantro, lime wedges, or additional sweet chili sauce if desired.
Notes
- For more vegetables, feel free to add extra bell peppers or other seasonal vegetables.
- Optional: Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
