  • 1/2 cup Sweet chili sauce Essential for signature taste; homemade variant with sweet chili jam can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while preparing the salmon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Dice the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  4. Toss the salmon pieces in the marinade until they are well-coated.
  5. Arrange the coated salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Top with chopped green onions before serving for an extra touch of flavor.

Notes

For optimal texture, let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking. Make extra marinade for drizzling before serving for added flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan while baking.
