    This sweet chili salmon with lime makes a wonderful but easy week night dinner. My broiled salmon recipe contains only 5 ingredients and I make this easy dinner at least twice a month.

    This sweet chili salmon with lime makes a great dinner. Served with brown rice and green beans.

    I am a huge fan of including fish in my diet. Especially salmon fillets. It is quite good for you and contains Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and great protein. The health benefits of fish are terrific but this broiled salmon recipe is also delicious.

    This chili lime salmon recipe is so easy and requires minimal ingredients. You gotta love any recipe that is this easy and this salmon cooks in 20 minutes from start to finish!

    If you like cooking in your air fryer try my Cajun Air Fryer Salmon.  

    Recipe Ingredients needed for this sweet chili salmon recipe.

    Recipe Ingredients

    • salmon - I like to use wild salmon and of course the fresher the better since this is the main ingredient. I cook the salmon filet whole then cut the salmon after it is cooked. If you prefer cooking salmon in pieces, adjust cooking time as the smaller pieces will cook more quickly. If you prefer , you could also use salmon steak, but make sure to watch for fish bones. 
    • sweet chili sauce - Sometimes referred to as Asian or Thai chili sauce. It's more sweet than spicy. You can find some in the Asian food section of your grocery store
    • chili powder - I always keep some in my pantry
    • fresh lime - Use fresh lime juice in this recipe over bottled juice. You can also use lime zest.
    • dried parsley or cilantro (optional) - you can use fresh parsley or cilantro if you prefer but I love the convenience of dried herbs. I sprinkle the salmon with this before cooking. You could also garnish the cooked salmon with chopped green onions. 

    How to Broil Chili-Lime Salmon

    Salmon is an easy fish to cook and I love the quickness of broiling it.

    1. Preheat broiler to 450 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Place salmon fillet skin side down on the baking sheet.
    2. In a small bowl, mix together the chili sauce, chili powder and juice from one lime. Spread the chili lime sauce mixture over the salmon. Slice the other lime and top with the slices. Sprinkle the fish with the dried parsley or cilantro if desired.
    3. Put the pan of salmon under the broiler and broil for 7 to 10 minutes depending on desired doneness. Test with a instant read meat thermometer. It should read 135 for medium and 145 for well done salmon. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Recipe Tips

    • Line your pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This makes clean up so easy!
    • To make lime slices extra juicy, microwave them whole for 10 to 20 seconds then roll before cutting and squeezing the juice.
    • If buying salmon fresh, don't keep it in your fridge for more than a day or two. Frozen salmon also works in this recipe but make sure to defrost it in the fridge overnight and pat dry with paper towels before cooking.
    • Cook the salmon skin side down. You can easily remove it before serving if that is your prference.
    • I like my salmon moist and slightly juicy so I cook it to an internal temperature of 125 to 135 degrees F which is medium rare to medium doneness. If you like your fish well done, add a few extra minutes of baking time and cook to 145 degrees F.
    • To store leftover salmon, keep in an airtight container. Do not store the leftovers for more than a day.

    This is a flavorful recipe where I like to serve plain brown rice and some vegetables on the side for a complete meal. But if you want to fancy things up a bit here are some good salads and side dishes to go with your broiled salmon recipe.
