Tomato Chili Salmon
Serves 2
Ingredients
Salmon
- 2 (6oz) boneless skinless salmon filets
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 heaping Tbsp honey
- 1 heaping Tbsp chili crisp
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Cooked white rice
Salad
- 3 mini seedless cucumbers finely diced
- 10 castelvetrano olives diced
- ¼ of a small red onion thinly sliced and rinsed
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- Olive oil to taste
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with a silpat, or greased foil.*
- Season salmon all over with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix tomato paste, honey and chili crisp until combined.
- Rub paste mixture all over the salmon (both sides!). Drizzle salmon with a touch of olive oil.
- Broil salmon for 6-10 minutes, depending on thickness, desired doneness and strength of broiler. Mine took 7 minutes for about medium doneness.
- While salmon broils, add cucumbers, olives, onions, parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Toss with olive oil, salt (careful with the salt bc of the olives!) and pepper to taste.
- Serve salmon over rice with the salad on the side. Make sure to get some of the dressing from the bottom of the salad and spoon that over everything too!

Notes
*I used parchment paper to line my sheet tray, but I don’t recommend it necessarily, just because it has potential to catch fire under the broiler (even though this has never happened to me, it could, and I don’t want to recommend it!)
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I have a high/low setting on my broiler. Which do you recommend and how far away from the broiler should the salmon be?
Really good! I didn’t have chili crisp but I put in a small bit of sesame oil since it’s what I had and it turned out yummy. Definitely making again, great way to use tomato paste 🙂
This was soooo good. I’ve made a ton of Hailees recipes and they are all delicious. I really love her use of fresh ingredients and simplicity.
I just made this last night and it was AMAZING! My partner liked it so much he ate the leftovers I was going to take for lunch XD
I’ll for sure be making this again and I’ll make sure to double the recipe!
SO DANG GOOD!!! Made this recipe like 3 times in one week for my family and they all loved the salmon. Sweet, spicy and tomato-y.. to die for!!
so so so so good. So much flavor!
