Description
Bang Bang Salmon is a flavor-packed dish featuring crispy salmon fillets topped with a creamy, spicy sauce, perfect for a delightful dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and spoon the bang bang sauce over the top of each fillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add more sriracha to the sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before serving.
- Substitute salmon with other fish like tilapia or cod for a different flavor profile.
