Bang Bang Salmon
Bang bang salmon is a fun salmon recipe with a sweet and spicy sauce. The salmon gets coated in the bang bang sauce for a flavorful dish.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 4-6 oz each
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt
- pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together all ingredients for the bang bang sauce in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Pat salmon dry on all sizes and drizzle with olive oil. Rub the olive oil into all surfaces of the salmon. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spoon some bang bang sauce over the top of each salmon fillet (save some sauce for serving with the salmon after cooking).
- Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with more bang bang sauce.
Notes
- I recommend removing the salmon skin before cooking. However, you can remove after cooking as well. The salmon skin does not get crispy in this recipe.
- When spooning the bang bang sauce over the salmon, do not place the spoon back in the bowl if it has touched the raw salmon. Instead, use a new spoon.
- Cooking time may vary based on the size and thickness of your salmon.
- If you have any leftover bang bang sauce, it can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
