Bang Bang Salmon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drizzle the olive oil over salmon on all sides and gently rub it in. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Sprinkle seasoning mixture over the salmon filets.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Mix well and divide the sauce in half. (It makes one cup of sauce, so use ½ cup for brushing it on the salmon before baking, reserving the other ½ cup for drizzling after baking.)

Step 5

Using ½ cup of sauce, evenly brush it over the salmon filets.

Step 6

Place the salmon onto the lined baking sheet, skin-side down, leaving space between each filet.

Step 7

Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. (Start checking the salmon after 6 minutes.) The internal temperature of fully cooked salmon is 145°F. For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the salmon to a plate and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chives.

Step 9

Serve warm with rice.
