Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each)
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) lime juice
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons Sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until your sauce looks smooth and well-blended.
- Use paper towels to completely dry each 6-ounce salmon fillet, removing excess moisture that could prevent proper browning.
- Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
- Coat each fillet with a generous layer of Bang Bang sauce, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 400°F oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until your salmon turns opaque and easily separates with a fork’s gentle pressure.
Notes
- Always pat salmon completely dry before applying sauce to help it adhere better and create a crispy exterior.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor, which helps balance the creamy mayonnaise and spicy Sriracha.
- For a lower-calorie version, swap traditional mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a light mayo alternative.
- Check salmon’s doneness by ensuring internal temperature reaches 145°F and fish flakes easily, being careful not to overcook which can make it dry.
