One-Pan Chilli Garlic Salmon

Published June 4, 2021 | Julia Frey (Vikalinka)

Jump to Recipe

This Chilli Garlic Salmon with sweet potatoes and Tenderstem broccoli is a one-pan beauty, which means less time cleaning and more time playing in the sun! Hello, Summer!

If you love salmon cooked with Asian flavours, take a look at another one pan wonder Teriyaki Salmon with Bok Choy.

When things get busy I find ways to make things easier in the kitchen. That often means turning to a one-pan dish.

Salmon is perfect for a quick and nutritious meal made with a minimum of fuss. I made this recipe stand out by using Asian-inspired flavours.

Apart from salmon, this one-pan recipe packs lovely sweet potatoes and fresh Tenderstem broccoli to increase the nutrition and make this a truly satisfying meal!

Chilli Garlic Salmon

I’m a huge fan of Asian seafood recipes, as you can see in our Asian fish and seafood collection. These are flavour combinations I just can’t get enough of!

This fish was made using my favourite Thai flavours but cooking it in one pan in the oven with vegetables is quite European. As a bonus you even get a delicious sauce at the bottom of your pan!

With a few shortcuts here and there this gorgeous dinner is done in under 30 minutes! If you use pre-chopped garlic, ginger and chilli the prep time goes by quickly.

You wouldn’t believe how little effort went into this salmon with sweet potatoes if you could taste all authentic flavours of Thai cuisine coming together in a different package.

Why this recipe works

Chillies, smoked garlic, ginger, green curry paste and limes create the perfect combination of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. The cornerstones of the Thai cuisine!

Salmon and sweet potatoes provide the perfect balance to the spicy and sour notes of chillies and limes. Regular potatoes will work but I would miss the sweetness.

I also used Tenderstem broccoli, which is a crazy and genius mix of Japanese kale and broccoli! If you can’t find Tenderstem broccoli where you live, throw in some regular broccoli or asparagus.

    Can I replace the salmon with chicken breast?

      Hi Jules, you definitely can but chicken breasts will need longer to cook, so I would put them in the oven at the same time as sweet potatoes and cook for about 20-25 minutes depending on the size.
