Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth. Stir in the sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet skin-side down. Generously brush the bang bang sauce over the tops and sides of each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Broil the salmon: Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning; the salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. You can also substitute sriracha with another hot sauce according to your spice preference.
