Bang Bang Salmon is a quick and flavorful dish featuring baked salmon fillets covered in a spicy and creamy sauce, perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Whisk until well mixed.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the sauce mixture generously over the top of each fillet. Reserve some sauce for later.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- While the salmon is baking, mix the reserved sauce with mayonnaise in a separate bowl until smooth. This will be your dipping sauce.
- Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the salmon hot, drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy with your choice of sides, such as rice or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Adjust the sriracha sauce to control the heat level to your preference.
- This dish pairs well with rice or steamed vegetables.
