Sweet Chili Salmon Meal Prep

Something I’ve been trying to work on this month is adding more omega 3 fatty acids and the first thing I thought of was salmon! Consuming more omega 3 fatty acids may help lower the risk of heart disease, depression, dementia, and arthritis. Overall, I’m down for getting more omega 3 into my diet and so I grabbed some salmon from the store and started working on a glaze/marinade.

What You’ll Need To Make This Sweet Chili Salmon Meal Prep

ingredients | This quick and easy Sweet Chili Salmon Meal Prep is super delicious, flavourful, and my new go-to meal! It makes for the perfect meal prep and a tasty weeknight dinner!

To make the marinade, you’ll need:

  • butter
  • soy sauce or tamari
  • honey
  • garlic paste (or minced garlic)
  • chili flakes

I used garlic paste instead of minced garlic as it can dissolve seamlessly into the marinade. This is just a personal preference and you are more than welcomed to use just regular minced garlic for this recipe.

For everything else you’ll need:

  • salmon
  • corn
  • edamame
  • carrot
  • rice or grain of choice

You’ll also need something to marinade this salmon in for this recipe – I use a large dish from Pyrex. 

How To Make This Healthy Salmon Meal Prep Recipe

Heat oven to 400F.

Place your salmon into a dish and in another bowl, combine the melted butter, soy sauce, honey, and chili flakes together. Pour the marinade into your dish and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add the salmon fillets, leaving space between.

Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

Once done, assemble your meal prep bowls by adding corn, edamame, carrot, and an optional carb to a bowl before placing your salmon on top. Top it off with a little lemon before serving to bring out the flavour some more.

Tips for making the perfect sweet chili salmon meal prep

If you have time, marinading the salmon overnight would really punch up the flavour, if not, 30 minutes to an hour works too

If you don’t have time at all to marinate, brush the salmon with the sauce and then at the half way point, brush more sauce onto the salmon again

To bring out the flavour more, squeeze a wedge of lemon on top of the salmon before serving

Want to change it up? Throw in some greens, break up the salmon, and make it into a salmon salad!

I use these meal prep containers that fits everything perfect and doesn’t hold onto scents

Don’t want plain rice? Try my Lemon Garlic Rice! Want to use quinoa instead? Here’s how I make quinoa in the Instant Pot.

HOW DO YOU MAKE MOIST SALMON?

The top and most obvious tip is to start not overcook it! Once your salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145F. it is done and should flake easily with a fork.

How Long Does Oven Baked Salmon Meal Prep Last?

This oven baked salmon meal prep lasts around 4-5 days in the fridge. I wouldn’t keep it for more than 5 days.

Notes

If you have time to marinade it overnight, do so! It'll taste amazing! If you don't have time to marinate the salmon, brush the sauce onto the salmon then half way through baking, brush another layer of sauce onto the salmon!
