30 Minute Chili Honey Garlic Salmon Bowls.

30 Minute Chili Honey Garlic Salmon Bowls. Crispy salmon tossed in a spicy-sweet honey garlic sauce. Serve this dish with asparagus, broccoli, or a combination cooked up right alongside the salmon. It’s the easiest sheet pan dinner. Add a side of rice and a creamy special sauce. This tasty family dinner is great any night of the week and can be made in under an hour!

I love creating bowl-style recipes – ideally served over rice! I have countless recipes ending with the word bowl on this site. They truly are some of our family favorites.

This salmon included.

I made this a few weeks ago, and while I can’t remember exactly what inspired it, I knew I made it with my dad and Oslo in mind. They love spicy salmon (and tuna – Oslo’s favorite!). They don’t often get served fish at home, so I was feeling excited to share this!

When my family comes home from travel or we have out-of-town guests, I love to make dishes that I know they’ll love and get comfort from eating.

Travel always takes a toll. Nothing is more welcoming than a great home-cooked meal! This was the perfect thing to serve after a week of being away. Everyone loved it, especially Dad and my little 4 year old old brother, Oslo!

Special Tools

For this quick recipe, you need a sheet pan and a couple of bowls to mix the sauces.

Steps

Step 1: cook the salmon and broccoli

I like to use cubes of salmon fillets. You can choose to leave the skin on or off the salmon, but I find the fish has better flavor when roasted with the skin on. Toss the salmon with ginger, chipotle powder, and chile flakes. I love to use Korean chile flakes.

You can find them online, at Whole Foods, and in most major grocery stores in the Asian aisle. I use the Mother in Law’s Brand.

Step 2: add the broccoli and/or asparagus

On the opposite side of the salmon, toss the broccoli and/or asparagus with oil or butter, salt, and pepper.

Now, roast everything at the same time until the salmon is cooked to your liking.

Step 3: the honey sauce

Mix the tamari (or soy sauce) with the honey. Then add fresh garlic, or use garlic powder, chili paste, green onions, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Step 4: the spicy creamy sauce

Just 3 ingredients: mayo, chili paste, and honey.

I usually add a pinch of salt too. Or you can add tamari.

Step 5: toss in sauce

Pour the sauce over the salmon, then return the pan to the oven and cook another few minutes until that sauce really sticks!

Step 6: serve with rice

I make a pot of coconut garlic rice.

It’s so delish!

The Chili Paste

I use gochujang, a Korean chili paste. This really provides that extra flavor. Again, the Mother in Law’s brand is my favorite. I get the original flavor from Whole Foods or order it on Amazon.
