Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4salmon fillets (about6 ozeach)
  • 2 tablespoonsolive oil
  • 1 tablespoongarlic powder
  • 1 teaspoonsalt
  • 1 teaspoonpaprika
  • ½ teaspoonblack pepper
  • ½ cupmayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 3 tablespoonssweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoonssriracha (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tablespoonhoney
  • Juice of1lime
  • 2green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Start by ensuring the salmon fillets are patted dry. This step is crucial as it allows the seasonings to stick better and promotes a nice sear during cooking. Once dried, sprinkle a blend of garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over both sides of the fillets.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin). Allow them to sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp up and the fish to cook through without falling apart. After this, carefully flip the fillets using a spatula, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, it’s time to whip up the delectable Bang Bang sauce. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version), sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and the fresh juice of one lime. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
  4. Once the salmon has finished cooking, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Generously drizzle the prepared Bang Bang sauce over the top of each salmon fillet. Sprinkle finely chopped green onions on top. Serve hot.
