Ingredients
½ cup sweet chilli sauce
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp Sriracha (optional)
2 lb salmon
¼ cup peanuts (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves (chopped, to serve)
ABBREVIATED RECIPE:
- Preheat the oven to (190°C) or heat the BBQ. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Whisk together sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha.
- Place the salmon on the foil and spoon the sauce over the top. Fold the foil over the salmon and seal the packet.
- Bake or BBQ for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

FULL RECIPE:
1. Prepare the oven or BBQ – Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat the BBQ. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Make the sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, reduced-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, fish sauce, grated ginger, lime juice and Sriracha, if using. Set aside.
3. Prepare the salmon – Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and fold up all four sides of the foil. Spoon the chilli sauce mixture evenly over the salmon.
4. Seal the foil packet – Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering it completely. Seal the edges tightly to create a closed foil packet.
5. Cook the salmon – Place the foil packet in the oven or on the BBQ. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
6. Garnish & serve – Carefully open the foil packet, as hot steam will escape. Garnish the salmon with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
RECIPE NOTES:
1. Sriracha – Sriracha is optional. Add it for extra heat or leave it out for a milder version.
2. Foil Packet – Seal the foil tightly to trap the steam and sauce, helping the salmon stay moist while cooking.
3. Cooking Time – Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. Check that the thickest part is cooked through before serving.
4. Garnish – Add the peanuts and fresh cilantro just before serving for fresh flavour and texture.
