Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 tsp Garlic, minced Adds depth of flavor; garlic powder can substitute if needed.
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger, minced Brings warmth and spice; ground ginger works in a pinch.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Used for marinating and cooking; avocado oil can be a high-smoke-point alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Delivers umami richness; tamari is a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tbsp Heinz Chili Sauce Provides the sweet and spicy kick; try other brands if desired.
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar Balances the glaze’s sweetness; honey is a good alternative but adjust the amount.
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes Introduces heat; feel free to adjust for spice preference.
  • 2 tsp Sriracha Kicks up the spiciness level; use less for a milder sauce.
Salmon
  • Salmon Fillets The star of the dish; skin-off is preferred for easier eating.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances all the other flavors; use sparingly based on other ingredients.
  • 1 tsp Pepper Adds a finishing touch of seasoning.
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika Infuses a smoky flavor; select mild or spicy versions as desired.
Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Chives, chopped Adds a fresh, colorful touch; green onions can replace if needed.
