Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each, skinless and boneless)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1–2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear salmon fillets for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes.)
Once cooked, brush or spoon Bang Bang sauce generously over each fillet.
Optional: Return salmon to oven for 2 minutes to lightly caramelize the sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
