Chili Glazed Salmon with Siracha Cream Sauce

I haven’t always been a big fan of salmon, or any other fish that, well, tastes like fish. But it many instances, I have had salmon prepared a certain way so that the fish flavor was barely there, and the sauce was just so amazing, I would have eaten just about anything that was covered in. This Chili Glazed Salmon with Siracha Cream Sauce Recipe is one of those instances. I had some fresh salmon on hand, and went to work creating a deliciously sweet chili glaze sauce, and then went a step further and made a quick Siracha cream sauce. The combination of the two flavors was excellent, and my husband and I both really enjoyed this Weight Watchers salmon recipe. I’m so happy that I’ve found another great way to get more salmon in my diet! Enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs salmon, cut into 6 fillets
  • 1/3 cup chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ tbsp Siracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise or Vegenaise
  • 1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup scallions, diced

Instructions

  1. To make chili glaze for the salmon, combine chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and 3 garlic cloves. Mix well.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and spray with an olive oil mister or non-fat cooking spray.
  3. Place salmon on baking sheet, and spoon glaze evenly over each fillet. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

    Made this tonight with Cilantro Lime Quinoa. Great combo, and I LOVE the glaze!

    I used the Asian chili sauce which seemed like it would be too spicy before I cooked it, but it must cook down the heat because it was perfect! Plus, the sriracha is milder when mixed with the mayo and yogurt. This was so good!!! I made quinoa and steamed broccoli as my sides.

  • Cassie Buethe

    awesome! thanks!

    Yes, I used the Heinz and followed the recipe, it was great, some of the best salmon I have had. Needs to be room temperature before broiling though, it was slightly rare for us, so I baked it about 5 minutes longer at 400*

  • Cassie Buethe

    Did you guys find out about the chili sauce .. I too am wondering!!

  • cary

    I have the same question, although the siracha sauce is pretty hot, I would guess the heinz chile sauce would work well, the combo of the sweet and hot is what probably makes it great

  • Kalyn

    I am loving the sound of this!

    Is this like an asian chili sauce or like the heinz ketchup chili sauce? I just want to clarify so I do not use the wrong ingredient! Thank you!

    This looks so yummy! I’m the same way – not a big fan of salmon unless the fishy flavor is minimal. I will be making this recipe. And I love that it’s only 4 points per serving.
