Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and soy sauce (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Generously coat each salmon fillet with the Bang Bang sauce using a pastry brush or spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is flaky and opaque.
- Turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the salmon before serving. Enjoy hot!
Notes
For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Sriracha. Broiling at the end adds a smoky depth to the sauce. Check the smallest fillet for doneness first to avoid overcooking.
