Oven-baked salmon fillets are glazed with a reduced-sugar sweet chilli sauce and served with a fresh, crunchy salad of carrot, daikon, radishes, and coriander wrapped in crisp Little Gem lettuce leaves. This dish combines vibrant flavors and textures, offering a low-salt, low-sugar option packed with protein and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp reduced-sugar sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced (divided use)
  • 2 tsp reduced-salt soy sauce or wheat-free tamari (divided use)

Salad

  • 1 carrot, finely sliced
  • ½ daikon radish, halved and finely sliced
  • 100g radishes, finely sliced
  • small handful of coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4 to prepare for baking the salmon.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of reduced-sugar sweet chilli sauce with half of the lime juice and half of the soy sauce or tamari, stirring well to mix.
  3. Glaze the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry using kitchen paper to remove excess moisture. Place them on a baking tray and spoon the sweet chilli sauce mixture evenly over the top of the fillets.
  4. Bake the salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to penetrate the fish and cook it gently.
  5. Caramelize under the grill: After baking, turn the grill to high heat and place the salmon under the grill for 2 to 5 minutes until the fillets are cooked through and the sweet chilli glaze caramelizes beautifully on top.
  6. Flake the salmon: Remove the salmon from the oven and gently flake the flesh by pressing down on it with the back of a fork, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, toss the finely sliced carrot, daikon radish, sliced radishes, and chopped coriander with the remaining half of the soy sauce and lime juice. Taste and season if needed.
  8. Assemble the wraps: Take the separated Little Gem lettuce leaves and fill each with a generous spoonful of the salad and flaked salmon. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can use wheat-free tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • For a spicier kick, add chopped fresh chilli or a dash of chilli flakes to the salad.
  • The salmon can be substituted with other firm fish fillets like cod or trout.
  • Make sure to pat the salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping; keep the salad and salmon separate until serving to maintain freshness.
