1. 1.

   Wash and pat salmon fillet dry. Peel garlic and ginger, then roughly chop both. Clean the chili pepper, wash it, and slice into rings. In a bowl combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown rice syrup, red chili paste, toasted sesame oil, and 2 tbsp light sesame oil; stir well. Add garlic, ginger, and chili, mixing thoroughly.

   Remove salmon from the marinade and lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Stir remaining marinade with sesame seeds, brush over salmon, and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan) for about 10 minutes.
