Description
Crispy salmon fillets paired with a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce for a delicious and memorable dinner experience.
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, allowing it to shimmer.
- Season each salmon fillet generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
- Gently place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet, and cook without moving them for 4-5 minutes until the skin becomes crispy.
- Carefully flip the fillets, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice until well combined.
- Once the salmon is cooked, plate it and drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a fresh garnish.
Notes
Use skin-on fillets for best results. The cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Adjust Sriracha for desired spiciness.
