Bang Bang Salmon (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 pieces of salmon (around 170 g each)

→ Bang Bang Sauce

02 - 60 ml sweet chili sauce
03 - Salt as needed
04 - 120 ml mayo
05 - 2 tablespoons sriracha
06 - Black pepper as needed
07 - 1 tablespoon lime juice, squeezed fresh
08 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Garnishes (optional)

09 - Chopped green onion, for a fresh bite
10 - Fresh sprigs of cilantro
11 - Lime slices
12 - A shake of sesame seeds
13 - A dash of red chili flakes if you like it spicy

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Just grab a bowl, scoop in the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, lime juice, pepper, and salt. Grab your whisk and stir like crazy until everything's super smooth.
02 - Set your oven to 190°C and get a baking tray lined with parchment so cleanup won't be a pain.
03 - Lay out your salmon on the lined tray, skin side touching the paper. Sprinkle both sides with some salt and pepper. Cover each piece with a hearty layer of your homemade sauce.
04 - Slide the tray into the oven (middle rack is best) and let the salmon cook for 15 to 20 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it easily breaks apart with a fork and doesn't look see-through anymore.
05 - As soon as your salmon's out, let it chill for a couple minutes. Toss on some cilantro, lime slices, and if you're feeling extra, add chili flakes, green onion, or sesame seeds before you dig in.

# Additional Tips:

01 - If your salmon pieces are about the same thickness, they'll cook more evenly. Don't leave them in too long so they stay juicy.
