Baked Bang Bang Salmon

Salmon is an amazing choice for quick, healthy dinners. It defrosts fast from frozen, bakes in minimal time and is absolutely delicious. Whip up this recipe with a lighter, made-from-scratch sauce that brings plenty of flavor. Serve it with roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli for a well-rounded, easy meal!

Ingredients

For The Salmon:

  • 1 1/2 lb. salmon (cut into 4-6 fillets)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp. light mayo
  • 3 Tbsp. sriracha (or hot sauce of choice)
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 tsp. lime juice

Optional:

  • sliced green onions
  • roasted sesame seeds
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse salmon under running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the salmon skin side down on prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Evenly distribute the mixture over salmon.
  • Place salmon in preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • While salmon is baking, make bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, add plain Greek yogurt, mayo, sriracha, honey and lime juice and mix well. Set aside.
  • After 8-10 minutes, remove salmon from oven. Use a spoon to glaze each salmon fillet with 1-2 tsp. of bang bang sauce, making sure not to touch the salmon with your spoon (if you do, use a new spoon with each fillet to avoid contaminating the sauce). Return to oven and turn oven to broil. Broil for 1-2 minutes, until salmon looks caramelized, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Remove salmon and let it cool slightly. Plate and pour the remaining bang bang sauce over salmon, about 2 Tbsp. per fillet. Top with optional green onions and roasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To remove an extra step, you can wait to add the bang bang sauce until ready to serve.
  • This recipe can be made with the skin on or off. Salmon separates easily from the skin once it’s been cooked.
