Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon filet
- 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose seasoning mix (see notes for homemade)
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- chili crisp (for topping)
- rice (cooked)
- vegetable (some kind of vegetable, e.g. avocado cucumber salsa)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the salmon into individual portions if you want. Pat the salmon dry. Coat the salmon with the spice mix. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Mix mayo, sweet chili sauce, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set half of it aside for after baking.
- Spread a small spoonful of sauce over the seasoned salmon pieces. Bake for 10 minutes towards the top of the oven. Then turn the broiler on for another 2-3 minutes, until your salmon looks golden brown and a bit caramelized on top.
- Serve the salmon over rice, with a vegetable of choice, and the reserved bang bang sauce + chili crisp drizzled over top! So easy and so good.
