- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season salmon fillet with salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
- Place salmon on prepared baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- While salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and garlic powder in a small bowl to create a vibrant, creamy bang bang sauce.
- Warm cooked white rice and transfer to a serving bowl as the base of the dish.
- Once salmon is done, gently break into large flakes using a fork.
- Arrange roasted salmon atop the rice, then generously drizzle with prepared bang bang sauce.
- Strategically place cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and avocado around the salmon.
- Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the bowl for added texture and visual appeal.
- Finish by squeezing fresh lime juice across the entire bowl to brighten the flavors.
- Serve immediately while salmon is warm and sauce is freshly mixed.
Notes
- Customize the salmon’s seasoning by experimenting with different spice blends like Cajun, Mediterranean, or Asian-inspired rubs for varied flavor profiles.
- Opt for wild-caught salmon to enhance nutritional value and support sustainable fishing practices.
- Transform this recipe into a low-carb option by substituting rice with cauliflower rice or mixed greens for a lighter meal.
- Prepare extra bang bang sauce and store in an airtight container for up to a week, perfect for using as a dip or dressing on other dishes.
