Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each) skin-on or skinless
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing the salmon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder adds depth to flavor
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika complements the fish
  • ½ tsp salt brings out natural flavors
  • ½ tsp black pepper adds seasoning
  • ½ cup mayonnaise creamy base for the sauce
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce offers sweetness and spice
  • 1 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste for spiciness
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice adds acidity
  • chopped green onions for garnish
  • sesame seeds for crunch and flavor
  • fresh lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients to streamline your cooking process.
  2. Season the Salmon Fillets: Rub olive oil over both sides of the salmon fillets and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown before flipping them over gently.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: While the salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey or maple syrup if using, and rice vinegar or lime juice in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Combine and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked through (about another 4-5 minutes), remove it from heat and drizzle generously with the prepared sauce before garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor!
