Bang Bang Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon filets, about 1 and 1/2 pounds, skins on
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup (116 g) mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup (66 g) Thai sweet chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Chives, chopped for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Drizzle olive oil over salmon on all sides and gently rub it in. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the salmon filets.
4. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey well.
5. Divide the sauce in half; use ½ cup for brushing onto the salmon before baking, reserving the other ½ cup for drizzling after baking.
6. Evenly brush ½ cup of the sauce over the salmon filets.
7. Place them on the lined baking sheet, skin-side down, leaving space between each filet.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through (start checking after 6 minutes).
9. For a crispier filet, broil for 1-2 minutes.
10. Transfer salmon to a plate, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and garnish with chives.
11. Serve warm with rice.
