5 from 61 reviews

Bang Bang Salmon is a quick and flavorful dish featuring perfectly cooked salmon topped with a spicy and creamy bang bang sauce, served over a bed of fresh lettuce for a light, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Others

  • 4 cups fresh lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil for salmon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist inside.
  3. Make the bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the dish: Arrange the fresh lettuce leaves on serving plates. Place the cooked salmon fillets over the lettuce and generously drizzle the bang bang sauce on top.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while the salmon is warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level of the bang bang sauce by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste.
  • If you prefer, grill the salmon instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavor.
  • Use any type of lettuce you like, such as romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg for crunch.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • Leftover bang bang sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
