Ingredients

Scale

4 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 cup cooked cilantro rice (optional)
2 cups assorted grilled vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini) (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the salmon by mixing sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic in a bowl. Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C).
If using optional sides, prepare cilantro rice according to package instructions and chop vegetables for grilling.
Grill marinated salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Brush with reserved marinade halfway through if desired.
Grill vegetables alongside the salmon for about 5-7 minutes until tender but crisp.
Serve the salmon garnished with chopped green onions alongside cilantro rice and grilled veggies.
