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.

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:

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!
Carol says
Hi, Maggie, Thanks so very much and glad you both enjoyed!! That Thai quinoa salad sounds great! Thanks again!

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.
