Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic, and lime juice. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as needed.

2. Cut the salmon into 2-inch chunks. Pat dry with a paper towel for better browning.

3. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.

4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish and place the salmon cubes in a single layer.

5. Bake uncovered for 10–12 minutes or until almost cooked through.

6. Pour the prepared Bang Bang sauce evenly over the salmon.

7. Broil for 2–4 minutes until the tops caramelize and sauce bubbles.

8. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce the amount of sriracha or skip it entirely.

You can use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a tangier and lighter option.

Let the salmon rest for 3–5 minutes after broiling to keep it juicy and tender.
