Baked Salmon in Foil with Fresh Lime and Sweet Chili Garlic Marinade
Turn up the oven to make this easy sweet chili lime salmon baked in foil when you need a quick and flaky fish dinner that pops with zesty bold flavor in minutes.
Equipment
1 sheet pan
1 small mixing bowl
1 brush for marinade - optional
1 zester / microplane grater for zesting lime
Ingredients
- 1½ to 2 lb Salmon Fillet - I used wild 'red' sockeye salmon
- ½ tsp Lime Zest
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 to 2 cloves Garlic - Finely minced
- 3 tbsp Chili Sauce
- 3 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- Fruity Olive Oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and season salmon fillet all over with pinches coarse sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place salmon fillet on foil-lined sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, combine chili sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir to combine and brush or rub over your salmon fillet. Top with thin slices of fresh lime and finish off by seasoning with pinches of smoky paprika and crushed dried parsley over the top. Drizzle everything lightly with a hit of fruity olive oil to finish.
- Seal the prepared fish by placing a second sheet of foil over the top leaving some room inside to form a pouch. Pinch the top and bottom sheets of foil together forming a seal all around the fish so it resembles a little foil pillow with the fish inside.
- Bake in your 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish has released some juices and becomes tender, easily flaking off with a fork.
