Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Salmon fillets (fresh or thawed, about 4-6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (use homemade or store-bought for convenience)
  • 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce Adds delightful sweetness and heat
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha For that extra kick
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed) For brightness
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Green onions (for garnish) Adds a fresh crunch
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional) For a nutty finish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the dish and season them with salt and pepper.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice, whisking until smooth.
  5. Spread the sauce mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is fork-tender and flaky. The sauce should bubble slightly at the edges.
  2. Remove from the oven, and let it rest for a couple of minutes before garnishing with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

Store any uneaten salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to preserve flavor and texture.
