Creating Bang Bang Salmon is a simple process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and set aside.
3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until crispy.
5. Add the Sauce: Carefully flip the salmon fillets. Spoon the prepared sauce over the top of each fillet. Ensure they’re well coated.
6. Bake: 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.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Plate and enjoy!
