How to make Sheet Pan Thai Baked Fish with Broccolini:

Recipe Ingredients:

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this sheet pan baked fish recipe. See the recipe card below for the exact quantities.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:

• Broccolini: Broccolini is a green vegetable that’s a hybrid of conventional broccoli and Chinese broccoli. It’s similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thinner stalks with a sweet flavor reminiscent of broccoli and asparagus. The entire plant is edible and requires very little prep–a quick trim of the bottom of the stem is all it requires. Because it’s sold in bunches, that’s easy to do with one cut.
• Fish Sauce: Fish sauce is a condiment and flavoring liquid made from fish that’s coated in salt and fermented–sometimes up to two years. It’s a staple seasoning in East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Each country in that region has its own version. Thai fish sauce , otherwise known as nam pla is the most common fish sauce and is readily available at international markets or the international aisle of most grocery stores.
• Sweet Chili Sauce: Also known as Thai sweet chili sauce, this condiment is made with red chili peppers (often Fresno chile, Thai or red jalapeños), rice wine vinegar, garlic, sometimes fish sauce and sugar. It’s popular in Thai, Afghan and Malaysian cuisine.
• Fish Fillets: I used Australis barramundi which is available in the frozen fish section and is very mild. However, almost any fish can be used such as tilapia, flounder, sole, sea bass, halibut and even salmon.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Gather and prep all the ingredients.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Place broccolini on a baking sheet along with thinly sliced garlic and minced ginger.
• Toss the broccolini, garlic and minced ginger with oil and move it to the edges of the sheet pan.

• Nestle the fish fillets in the center of the sheet pan.

• Mix up the sweet chili glaze. Combine the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, Sriracha and remaining ginger in a small bowl.

• Pour the sweet chili-lime glaze over the fish.
• Add lime wedges…

• And bake!

• That’s it!! A delicious, easy, restaurant-quality sheet pan baked Thai fish recipe with broccolini for a healthy, one-pan meal you both will love!
• Serve with jasmine rice, garnish with thinly sliced scallions and the incredibly juicy roasted lime wedges to bump up the flavor even more!
