Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the salmon on the baking sheet, and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.

Bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

After the salmon is cooked through, set the oven to broil. Place the salmon under the broiler for 2 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and crispy.

Once the salmon is finished broiling, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the salmon hot, garnished with sliced green onions or cilantro, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Salmon Skin Strategy 🐟
Keep the salmon skin-on during baking for extra moisture and easier handling, which helps prevent the delicate fish from drying out.
Sauce Layering Technique 🌶️
Create a two-stage sauce application - first a thin base layer, then a thicker top coating for maximum flavor intensity and beautiful caramelization.
Spice Balance Mastery 🔥
Adjust the heat level by carefully balancing cayenne, sriracha, and paprika - start with less and taste, as you can always add more spice but can't remove it.
Marinade Magic ⏰
For deeper flavor penetration, let the salmon rest in the spicy mayo mixture for 15-30 minutes before baking to allow seasonings to fully infuse.
Perfect Salmon Doneness 🍽️
Check salmon's internal temperature at 135°F and remove from oven, as it will continue cooking slightly during resting and prevent overcooking.
