Saucy, Tangy Slow-Roast Sambal Salmon

There’s a reason slow-roast salmon is so popular—it’s forgiving and virtually hands-off, resulting in flawlessly cooked fish with barely any of the mess and smells of cooking fish on the stovetop. Here it’s brightened with lime zest and topped with a punchy, nuanced sauce featuring spicy sambal oelek, fragrant ginger and garlic, and still-crunchy bell pepper. This saucy salmon is best enjoyed along with cooked rice or noodles. However you choose to serve it, just don’t call it sweet-and-sour salmon because it’s so much more than that. 

Pro tip: For maximum efficiency, get the fish in the oven first, then prep the sauce and vegetables while it roasts.
