Ingredients

Salmon

4 salmon filets about 2 pounds, skins on
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, more for garnish
chopped green onion, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin side down in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, honey, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, salt, and sesame seeds.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together until smooth and combined.
Brush half of the bang bang sauce on the salmon filets and reserve the rest for later. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is opaque in color.
Brush the salmon with the reserved bang bang sauce and broil on high for 1-2 minutes. Remove the salmon from the oven when the center reads around 135 degrees Fahrenheit. The salmon will continue to cook and should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit before consuming.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with rice.
