Ingredients List

For the Bang Bang Salmon:

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 12 tablespoons Sriracha, depending on heat preference
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
    • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Cook the Salmon:
    • Baking: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
    • Grilling: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Notes

Additional Tips and Notes

  • Balancing the Sauce: If the Bang Bang sauce is too spicy for your taste, you can add a bit more mayonnaise or sweet chili sauce to mellow the heat. A squeeze of lime juice can also brighten the sauce and add a refreshing tang.
  • Serving Suggestions: Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serving the salmon over a bed of rice or quinoa allows the grains to soak up the delicious sauce, making each bite more flavorful.
