Sweet Chili Baked Salmon – Cloud of Cookmorphosis

The pumpkin spice season is officially here. Welcome to “Everything tastes better with pumpkin” season, everyone. Don’t believe me? Look around you, especially Starbucks and cooking related websites & stores. People are going nuts with this spice, I’m telling you. Thou I’m not a big fan of pumpkin, but I promise you I will have at least one blog post that dedicated to it because I want to give my respect to this wonderful season. Fall is my most favorite season of the year. Probably it has something to do with the fact that I was born in this time. Another fact is that I love yellow and orange related colors, and when can you find that many things covered with these colors than this season, right? I’m gonna go wild with buying kitchen stuff that carries the fall’s influences.

Before I’m going deeply into this Thai Sweet Chili Baked Salmon (which has nothing to do with pumpkin spice, by the way), I want to wish you a very peaceful and lovely weekend. Trust me I really mean it because I already had such an up and down week and so far my weekend does not look that exciting and happy either. And of course, I dearly do not want you experience what I’m experiencing right now. Earlier this week, you may have know I had to deal with my dear sweet Rain disappeared for 24 for hours, and it was the darkest moments of my life so far. And then today, I thought I would have such a lovely Saturday so I can brainstorm and work on some beautiful recipe for my Sunday Funday series, once more time, I got caught in a middle of madness. I accidentally found out that some of my photos and written content were stolen by some bloggers and FB group. Holy mackerel, it brought to my most surprise that they not only stole my photos but also deleted my water marks and stamped theirs on like they did the whole thing from scratch. I was so pissed but I managed to keep my coolness when I contacted them. I could not understand how one could easily steals from another without thinking about how hard and serious that person worked on their master piece before upload to share with the whole world.

I mean I do not mind if somebody wants to use my images or my recipes, you know. All you have to do is ask for my permission, or if you feel like do not want to talk, that’s fine too. Just link back to my original post then everything is settle and fine. I’m still waiting on one person for her explanation and apology before I officially take down the copy cat post from her site. She took everything from my post and claimed it was her.

Yeah, that was how my week ended with and I really try the last resort of this Saturday to cheer up my mood in a hope that my Sunday will be really a fun day. I just want to enjoy this long weekend with smile and happiness, you know. Haiza.

Ok, I think it’s enough of moody talk. I don’t want to turn your mood down too. Back to this lip smacking baked salmon, don’t you think? I barely eat cooked salmon because to me, there is no many ways to make it moist and less fishy except eating it raw. And now, I’m so happy that I did try to bake salmon with this Thai sweet chili sauce. It brought the perfect amount of flavor to the salmon as well as keeping it moist during the baking process. Not to mention the unique fatty flavor from scallion oil and the crunchiness from crushed peanut, together they make the salmon taste even better. Sweet chili, scallion oil and crushed peanut make a very combination on the baked salmon. Don’t pass this easy peasy dish, it surely will lighten up your meal by bringing a little Asian flavor to your regular salmon. Do it now and you will love it, for sure.
