Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Choose fresh or frozen for omega-3
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Coarse sea salt recommended
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly ground preferred
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise High-quality mayo for healthier choice
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Or gochujang for alternative heat
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Maple syrup as vegan alternative
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce Use tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 teaspoons Lime juice Freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil Optional based on preference
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder Fresh garlic can substitute
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger powder Fresh ginger adds more flavor

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  2. Season both sides with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger powder.
  4. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven. It’s ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Transfer the baked salmon to plates and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce, garnishing with chopped green onions if desired.
  6. Optionally serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, alongside rice, quinoa, or salad for a complete meal.
