Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillets (about 2 fillets)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Chili Crisp Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to your preferred spice level)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (adjust to taste)
- For Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
- Extra chili crisp (optional)
- Lemon or lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Salmon: If the salmon fillets have skin, remove it with a sharp knife. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then cut into 1-inch cubes. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon cubes.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not touch. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the salmon is just pink and easily pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 135°F. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the salmon cubes (longer for larger pieces, shorter for smaller).
- Prepare the Chili Crisp Sauce: While the salmon is baking, whisk together the coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, chili crisp, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the lemon juice for more tanginess, if desired.
- Finish the Dish: Transfer the baked salmon bites to a plate. Drizzle the chili crisp sauce over the salmon. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and extra chili crisp for added flavor. Serve with lemon or lime wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
