Instructions
Creating Bang Bang Salmon is as simple as following these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Salmon: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
5. Make the Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl until well combined.
6. Apply the Sauce: Once the salmon is perfectly seared, spoon the sauce generously over the top of each filet.
7. Transfer to Oven: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
9. Serve: Transfer the salmon to plates, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top for an enhanced flavor.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll find that preparing Bang Bang Salmon is both manageable and rewarding!
