Ingredients
For the Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of 1 lime
2 green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
Prepare the salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat the pan
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Cook the salmon
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet (skin-side down if using skin-on). Cook for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp.
Flip the fillets and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Make the bang bang sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
Finish and serve
Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the cooked salmon and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect crispy sear.
Adjust the sriracha to control the spice level.
The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serve with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
