Delicious bang bang salmon made perfect in just 15 minutes recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skinless (2, 6-ounce)
  • Mayonnaise (1/4 cup)
  • Sweet Chili Sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Sriracha (1 tablespoon)
  • Rice vinegar (1 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
  • Green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly dust each fillet with cornstarch, ensuring all sides are covered.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until well combined. This is your Bang Bang sauce.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1 tablespoon) to the pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet.
  4. Step 4: Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a plate. Pour the Bang Bang sauce evenly over the salmon fillets.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over rice or your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For extra crispy salmon, ensure the pan is screaming hot before adding the fillets!
  • Store leftover Bang Bang salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Gently reheat leftover salmon in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to keep it moist.
  • Serve this flavorful salmon over a bed of coconut rice to perfectly complement the sweet and spicy sauce.
