Step-by-Step Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
