Easy 15-min. Sriracha Mayo Salmon
Description
Easy 15-min. Sriracha Mayo Salmon starts with horizontally sliced salmon fillets seasoned lightly with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. A sauce made from mayonnaise, spicy Sriracha, and honey or maple syrup is brushed over the salmon including the sides, creating a glaze that balances spice and sweetness.
The salmon can be cooked either in an air fryer or oven. In the air fryer, it is cooked skin-side down on parchment or foil-lined basket at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, while in the oven it bakes similarly at 400°F from a greased or lined baking sheet. This method ensures the salmon stays moist and cooks evenly with a lightly caramelized sauce coating.
This salmon pairs well with green onions for garnish and can be served with rice, vegetables, or a simple salad for a balanced meal. The quick cooking time offers convenience without sacrificing flavor.
