Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bang Bang Salmon
  1. Preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Position the rack in the upper third of the oven.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart for even cooking.
  4. Generously brush the Bang Bang sauce over both sides of each salmon fillet.
  5. Broil the salmon for 8 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly sliced green onions before serving.
