Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 6 ounces Salmon Fillets the star of the show, bringing omega-3 richness
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil a touch for searing; helps achieve that crispy, golden skin
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt essential to enhance natural flavors
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked for warmth and depth
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise creamy base; swap for Greek yogurt for a lighter version
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha adds that spicy kick; substitute with gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon Honey brings sweetness; try maple syrup for a vegan twist
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce adds umami depth; use tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice brightens the dish; lemon juice works well if lime isn't handy
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil for nuttiness and aroma; can be omitted

  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder provides warm spice; feel free to use fresh ginger
