Description

A quick and delicious salmon dish with a sweet and spicy Bang Bang sauce that’s perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped


Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Season each side with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Pour olive oil into the skillet and heat over medium-high.
  4. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down for skin-on fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until well combined.
  7. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the cooked salmon, finishing with a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Notes

Adjust the spice level of the sauce by modifying the amount of sriracha.
