Sweet & Spicy Asian Glazed Salmon Recipe Is Full of Flavor (5 Ingredients, 20 Minutes) Seafood Dinner Asian Recipes

Salmon is a great choice for weeknight dinners because it's so quick to prepare. Check out all the health benefits of salmon, because nutritious salmon truly is as healthy as you’ve heard. It’s a great source of vitamin B, protein and potassium. It helps reduce the risk of heart disease and is one of the best ways to get omega-3 fatty acids. Bonus: it is known to help with weight control.

I personally find salmon absolutely delicious, especially with recipes like this one! And since I have a vitamin B deficiency, I feel good about eating it, too! If possible, always try to buy wild salmon. Not only does it taste better but it is also lower in toxins, mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, a group of man-made chemicals).

Here's what you need to make this delicious seafood dinner recipe: fresh salmon, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fresh ginger and sriracha sauce. That's it! You prepare the glaze then spread it over the salmon in a baking dish. You then bake the flavorful salmon for only about 10 to 15 minutes. So simple!

Serve this easy salmon recipe with your favorite vegetable and a grain or pasta. It would be delicious served with rice or various other side dishes.
