Jump to Recipe

I'm always looking for quick and easy recipes for weeknight meals and salmon is a great go to protein for that. It cooks very quickly and really takes to any marinade that you put it in. Add rice and noodles and you've got dinner in half an hour.

Sweet chilli is one of my favourite sauces/marinades- the kick of the chilli cut with the sweetness of the honey is perfect. I like to add a touch of garlic and lime to enhance the flavours too.

I prefer to oven bake the salmon so I don't need any oil and don't need to watch over it while I make the accompaniments.

Top Tips

• Mix the marinade together really well so that the flavours are combined and spread evenly over the salmon.
• If you have time, you can leave the salmon in the marinade for up to two hours.
• If you don't have chilli flakes and chilli powder, just use one or the other.
