    Why This Recipe is a Keeper!

    Here’s a great baked Thai fish recipe I think you’re going to love!  A simple Thai sweet chili and lime glaze is poured over fish fillets then baked with broccolini and garlic for the ultimate healthful and easy weeknight dinner–on one pan!

    This fish with sweet chili sauce is:

    • Easy and doesn’t require any special knife skills.
    • Comes together in about 30 minutes.
    • Is healthy!

    If fish is not your thing, this would be equally delicious with chicken cutlets.

    Let’s make this easy, delicious dish!

    How to make Sheet Pan Thai Sweet Chili – Lime Baked Fish with Garlic Broccolini:

    • Place broccolini on a baking sheet along with thinly sliced garlic and minced ginger.
    • Toss the broccolini, garlic and minced ginger with oil.

    • Nestle thin fish fillets such as…
      • Barramundi
      • Tilapia
      • Flounder
      • Sole
      • Catfish

    … in the broccolini.

    • Add lime wedges…

    • —And bake!

    How hard was that?

    This is an easy sauce for baked tilapia, halibut, cod or salmon.

    Serve over jasmine rice and garnish with thinly sliced scallion.  Be sure to serve the roasted lime wedges along with the fish! Heating the lime wedges makes them super juicy and it’s better to squeeze warm lime juice over a hot dish than cold or room temperature.

    What to serve with baked thai fish:

    • Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Thai Sweet Chili – Orange Glaze
    • Sriracha Sweet Chili Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    • Thai Sweet Chili Green Beans

    Equipment

    • Wusthof Chef Knife
    • Cutting Board
    • Glass Mixing Bowls
    • Rimmed Sheet Pan

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 bunches broccolini
    • 2 tablespoons canola oil - or as needed
    • 2 teaspoon minced ginger - divided
    • 3 cloves garlic - thinly sliced
    • 1 pinch Salt
    • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
    • 2 large limes - 1 juiced (approximately 2 tablespoons), the other cut into quarters
    • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
    • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
    • 2-3 (6-8 ounce) white fish fillets - such as barramundi, tilapia, flounder, sole, etc.
    • Thinly sliced scallion - for garnish
    • Cooked jasmine rice - for serving

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    • Place broccolini on a baking sheet. Drizzle with canola oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon minced ginger and sliced garlic. Toss to coat and spread out into one even layer. Tuck the garlic under the broccolini to prevent it from burning. Sprinkle the broccolini with a little salt.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, Sriracha and remaining ginger.
    • Nestle fish fillets in the broccolini.
    • Pour sauce over the fish. Place lime wedges around broccolini and fish.
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and broccolini is cooked and lightly browned around the edges.
    • Serve fish and broccolini over jasmine rice. Pour any pan juices back over fish.
    • Garnish with roasted lime wedges and thinly sliced scallion.

      Really enjoyed this! It has so much flavor and requires so little effort. I found your recipe and was so happy that I had everything needed in my kitchen except for fresh broccolini. I subbed frozen broccoli florets and it still was delicious. Served with a salad of mixed greens, cucumber, and carrot tossed in a sesame soy vinaigrette along with coconut rice garnished with fresh cilantro. Thanks for a very tasty meal that came together in a jiffy!

      This was fantastic – my husband said it was the best dinner I ever made! Didn’t have broccolini and served with a Thai quinoa salad – it was great!

      I made this the other night for dinner. So easy and delicious! I especially liked the flavor of the lime in the sauce. I didn’t have broccolini, so I substituted Brussels sprouts and it was yummy. Will definitely make again.

      This looks amazing and flavourful! I love one sheet pan meals – so much easier to clean up and all the flavours blend beautifully together – bonus! Thanks so much for sharing. I will have to keep this away from the kids (too spicy still) but hubby will love it.
