Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g salmon fillets, skinless, cut into four portions
  • 60 ml mayonnaise
  • 30 ml sriracha or chili sauce
  • 15 ml honey or maple syrup
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 5 ml soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Scallions (green onions), sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the glaze: in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, and paprika until silky. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as needed.
  2. Prepare the salmon: pat the fillets dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the salmon: heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a thin coating of oil. Add the salmon and sear for about 3–4 minutes on the first side.
  4. Glaze and finish: reduce heat to medium, brush the glaze over the top of each fillet, and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  5. Rest and serve: transfer the Bang Bang Salmon to a platter and let it rest for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

  • Adjust the glaze to your preferred balance of heat and creaminess.
  • Finish in the oven for a more even cook if desired.
  • Serve with lemon wedges for a citrus finish.
