how to make Sheet Pan Thai Glazed Salmon with Vegetables

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 chopped red bell pepper
• 1 chopped green bell pepper
• 1 chopped yellow pepper
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 cup snow peas
• 2 thinly sliced carrots
• 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Chopped cilantro and lime slices for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the salmon fillets skin side down on the sheet, surrounded by the chopped vegetables. The heat from the oven will gently cook the salmon while roasting the veggies, creating a delicious caramelization.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Save 1/4 cup of this marinade for later, then drizzle the rest over the salmon and vegetables.
3. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. This lets the salmon cook through while keeping the veggies tender.
4. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and turn on the broiler. Broil for another 5-7 minutes until the top of the salmon starts to blacken. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
5. Take the salmon out of the oven and brush the reserved marinade on top. This will brighten the flavors and add an appealing gloss.
6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime slices before serving.
