Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bang Bang Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing for proper cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to create the Bang Bang sauce.
Generously spoon or brush the Bang Bang sauce over the salmon fillets, reserving some for drizzling later.
Bake the salmon for about 15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, drizzle reserved sauce over the fillets, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
