Print Recipe

Bang Bang Salmon is a bold, flavorful twist on classic salmon, coated in a creamy, spicy, sweet Bang Bang sauce made with mayo, sweet chili, and sriracha. It’s quick, easy, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or a special yet simple meal that feels like restaurant-quality.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Salmon
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • Optional Garnishes
  • Chopped green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare the salmon by patting the fillets dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

  3. Bake the salmon for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (145°F) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. While salmon is baking, make the Bang Bang sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and vinegar or lime juice until smooth and well combined.

  5. Remove salmon from the oven and immediately spoon or drizzle the sauce over each fillet.

  6. Optional: For a glazed effect, return the salmon to the oven and broil for 1–2 minutes.

  7. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or salad.

Notes

  • To reduce calories, swap mayo with Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing sriracha.
  • This dish pairs well with jasmine rice, quinoa, steamed broccoli, or a cabbage slaw.
  • You can pan-sear or air fry the salmon instead of baking—just adjust cooking time as needed.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
