Description

Flaky, oven-baked salmon fillets topped with a creamy, sweet-and-spicy bang bang sauce. A quick and flavorful dish perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.


Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/3 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon lime juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry, brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  4. While the salmon bakes, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice until smooth.
  5. Once the salmon is done, drizzle the bang bang sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
  6. Optional: Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or lime wedges before serving.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter sauce.

Add panko breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch.

Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb option.

Swap salmon for shrimp or chicken if desired.

Grill the salmon instead of baking for a smokier flavor—marinate in some of the sauce beforehand.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes for best texture.

Store sauce separately and drizzle on after reheating.
