Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth, then stir in the sesame oil to add a nutty flavor.
  3. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the bang bang sauce, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Broil Salmon: Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, watching closely, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with thinly sliced green onions, and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Store leftover Bang Bang Salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat to prevent overcooking.
  • Serve over fluffy rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • For extra flavor, marinate salmon in half the bang bang sauce for 30 minutes before broiling.
