Sweet and spicy glazed salmon

Salmon is my favorite fish which you can safely say as I have tons of salmon recipes. Some favorites are basil parmesan salmon, air fryer salmon with maple soy glaze, and Asian salmon shells. This sweet and flavorful version can be added to my new favorites list! It's simple (only five ingredients) and delicious.

Folks, I love salmon, but I have a hard time choosing a favorite recipe because I have so many. When I tried this recipe, I fell in love instantly! The simple homemade salmon glaze offers so much flavor with just three ingredients. The sweet red chili icing adds sweetness and caramelization, the sriracha adds a little warmth, and the ginger gives it a warm, pungent taste.

Why is salmon good for you?

Salmon is a very healthy and nutritious fish. It's full of omega-3 fatty acids that help lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are “essential” fats, which means your body cannot make them. You must therefore 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 for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. The salmon is ready when the inside becomes semi-opaque and flakes easily. If you want to do the cleaning even faster, line the sheet pan with foil.

What to serve with glazed salmon

This baked salmon goes wonderfully with roasted vegetables such as asparagus or Brussels sprouts and butternut squash as a side dish. You could even double up the salmon sauce and pour it on top of the vegetables. Here are some more side dish ideas:
