Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.
To make the sauce, mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and vinegar in a bowl.
Arrange the salmon filets in the center of a sheet pan. Reserve a small amount of the sauce to pour on the salmon at the end. Brush or spoon the rest of the sauce onto the salmon.
Arrange the asparagus on the sheet pan on one side of the salmon and the bell pepper strips on the other side. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Bake in the upper third of the oven for 12 minutes. Turn the broiler on at the end and broil for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds on the vegetables. Pour the remaining sauce on the salmon and garnish with scallions.
