A delightful fusion of crispy salmon with a creamy, spicy sauce that tantalizes the taste buds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Cook salmon skin-side down for 5-7 minutes; flip and cook another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (145°F internal temperature).
