Description
Crispy, flavorful salmon coated in a creamy, spicy sauce—a perfect blend of heat and sweetness that elevates the salmon to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each salmon fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and honey to create the “bang bang” sauce.
- Once the salmon is ready, drizzle the sauce over the fillets, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
