Description
Bang Bang Salmon is seasoned salmon filets brushed with bang bang sauce, baked in the oven, and topped with even more of the sweet and spicy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon filets (about 1½ pounds, skins on)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup (116 g) mayonnaise
- ¼ cup (66 g) Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over salmon on all sides and gently rub it in. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Season: Sprinkle seasoning mixture over the salmon filets.
- Mix: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well and divide the sauce in half.
- Brush: Using ½ cup of sauce, evenly brush it over the salmon filets.
- Arrange: Place the salmon onto the lined baking sheet, skin-side down, leaving space between each filet.
- Bake: Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. (Start checking the salmon after 6 minutes.) The internal temperature of fully cooked salmon is 145°F. For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes.
- Finish: Transfer the salmon to a plate and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chives.
- Serve: Serve warm with rice.
Notes
For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes. You can also cook this in an air fryer for 5-6 minutes at 400°F.
