Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn opaque.
  4. Gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F.
  5. While the salmon is cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  6. Once the salmon has rested for 1 minute, drizzle it with the Bang Bang sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
