Bang Bang Salmon is a fast, easy weeknight and party meal. Bang Bang Salmon includes salmon fillets topped with a sweet and spicy sauce containing sweet chili sauce and sriracha.
To make the dish, choose fresh salmon fillets and seasonings that pair well with salmon. The crispy coating and creamy sauce provide additional texture and flavor to the dish, making it a complete meal.
Check the color of the salmon, which should be golden brown when the dish is done. Check the sauce to ensure it is creamy. Avoid overcooking the salmon, as overcooked salmon will be dry.
