Ingredients You Need for Bang Bang Salmon

Salmon Fillets: Fresh, skinless salmon works best for a firm texture and easy eating for the whole family.

Mayonnaise: Use your favorite brand to provide a rich, creamy base for the spicy, sweet sauce mixture.

Sweet Chili Sauce: This adds a lovely touch of sweetness and a sticky consistency that coats the fish well.

Sriracha: Add as much or as little as you want to control the heat level of the sauce.

Olive Oil: This fat is perfect for searing the salmon to achieve that crispy, delicious outside layer.

Seasonings: Paprika and garlic powder bring out the natural savory notes of the fish while it cooks.

How to Assemble

1. Prepare the Sauce

In your bowl, stir the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Mix until it is fully combined and smooth.

2. Season the Fish

Pat your salmon dry. Rub the spices evenly over the surface. This creates a tasty crust while searing.

3. Sear the Salmon

Heat oil in the pan. Place salmon flesh side down. Cook until golden and opaque, following safe cooking guidelines.

4. Add the Glaze

Pour the sauce over the salmon in the last minute. Let it bubble slightly and coat the fish evenly.

Recipe Success Tips

➡️ Pat the salmon very dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect, crispy golden sear.

➡️ Do not overcrowd your pan so that the salmon cooks evenly on all sides.

➡️ Keep the heat at medium-high to get color without burning the creamy sauce inside.

How To Store Leftover

Keep any leftovers in a sealed container in your refrigerator for two days. The sauce might thicken, so add a tiny bit of water when reheating.

Avoid freezing the cooked salmon, as the creamy sauce changes texture after thawing. Enjoy it fresh for the best possible flavor and firm, flaky fish quality.

FAQs about Bang Bang Salmon

Can I use frozen salmon? Yes, just thaw it completely in the fridge overnight. Pat it very dry before cooking so the seasoning sticks to the fish perfectly.

What can I serve with this? It pairs well with jasmine rice or roasted broccoli. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Cowboy Butter Lemon Bowtie Chicken With Broccoli Recipe.

Is the sauce too spicy? You control the heat. Start with a little Sriracha and taste the sauce. Add more only if you really enjoy a spicy kick.
