Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets, skin on Substitute with trout if preferred.
  • Salt and black pepper To taste.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For an extra crunchy exterior.
Sauce Ingredients
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce Feel free to adjust the heat by using more or less.
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Or a milder hot sauce if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil, mixing until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
  5. Spread the sauce evenly over the surface of the salmon fillets, then press the panko mixture into the sauce until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown. The butter will bubble and release a nutty aroma here, signaling it’s almost ready!
  2. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before plating.
  3. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Feel free to swap the salmon for other proteins like chicken or tofu. Toast spices before adding them to the salmon for more depth of flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
