Sweet-Heat Bang Bang Salmon

Sweet chili and a hint of garlic-chile give this Sweet-Heat Bang Bang Salmon a balanced kick, mellowed by a creamy, tangy sauce. Juicy salmon contrasts with a cool cucumber and avocado salad for freshness and crunch. Serve it for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal when you want bold flavor without fuss.

Sweet-Heat Bang Bang Salmon
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Set the salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle them with 1/8 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha (R). Spoon half of the sauce over the filets; set aside the remaining sauce for serving.

  4. 4

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Switch the broiler to High and broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, for the salad, mix the cucumber, avocado, cilantro, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and lime juice in a separate bowl.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the reserved sauce over the salmon, and serve with the cucumber salad.
