Ingredients
  

For the salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets Opt for fresh, sustainable salmon for the best flavor.
For the sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha Adjust for spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For garnish
  • Green onions Chopped for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until combined. Adjust the sriracha based on how spicy you want it. Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is almost cooked through.
  2. Carefully flip the salmon over and slather a generous amount of the sauce on top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the sauce is warmed through.
Garnishing
  1. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent fish from becoming rubbery.
