Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin removed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup green onions (sliced)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (unspecified amount, optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to form the bang bang sauce
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet
Brush the sauce evenly over both sides of the fillets
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through
Top with sliced green onions and an optional drizzle of soy sauce before serving
Notes
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version. Substitute maple syrup for honey to make vegan. Adjust sriracha to taste. Serve with steamed rice, leafy greens, or noodles if desired. For crispier skin, leave salmon skin on and pat dry before baking.
