Juicy, flaky salmon topped with a creamy, sweet, and spicy bang bang sauce — quick to make and packed with bold flavor.

Ingredients

  • For the salmon:
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the bang bang sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional, for tang)
  • Optional garnishes:
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat salmon dry, then rub with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place salmon fillets on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • While salmon bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Once salmon is done, drizzle or brush generously with bang bang sauce.
  • Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or cilantro, and serve with rice or veggies.

Notes

  • Air fryer option: cook salmon at 390°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less sriracha.
  • Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to 5 days.
