Ingredients
Scale
- Salmon fillets
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha
- Green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Vegetable oil (canola or avocado)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), ¼ cup of sweet chili sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference.
- Marinate the Salmon: Take your salmon fillets and place them in a shallow dish. Pour about half of the Bang Bang sauce over the fillets, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to seep in.
- Preheat the Oven: While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet, skin-side down.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Finish with Sauce: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the remaining Bang Bang sauce over the top. Optionally, you can return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the baked salmon with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm with your choice of sides, like rice or steamed vegetables.
