At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

Easy Sweet Chili Soy Glazed Foil Baked Salmon

I love sweet and slightly spicy asian inspired dishes- and there is no dish that better compliments sweet chili than a quick baked salmon.

Today I am sharing my new favorite asian-inspired fish dish – in a super easy to clean foil pouch!

This Sweet Chili Soy Glazed Salmon in Foil recipe is incredibly simple, gorgeous to look at, doesn’t spread a fishy smell through your house, and is perfect for a dinner party – it is elegant, but incredibly easy!

Foil pouches are the perfect way to cook fish quickly and easily- and keep cleaning to nothing.

Plus, cooking fish in a foil pouch keeps the house from smelling fishy (like pan-frying can sometimes do) and helps marinades soak in without spilling all over!

This recipe is so simple- its just place and drizzle.

Seriously!!!

First off, we’re going to drizzle the fish in soy sauce to let it really sink in, and then finish it off with the sweet chili glaze.

After your fish is glazed, fold a foil pouch over it, and pop it in the oven until it is opaque, or even until the fat releases slightly. That’s it!

I really love this recipe because it has just a tiny hint of spice – so my kids are good eating it.

It is also just a touch sweet (let’s face it, sweet fish sounds just plain gross…), with delicious hints of salty soy and garlic.
