Extremely delicious. I used slap ya mama Cajun and changed the sauce a bit: 1/2 kewpie 3 Tbsp Sriracha 2 Tbsp honey and 1 Tbsp rice vinegar. The sauce itself is gold and definitely a go-to for many dishes.

We modified the Bang Bang Sauce a little more to our taste, but a solid start

I split the paprika between smoked and Hot Hungarian paprika for just a bit more of a kick. The sauce helps mellow out the spiciness. For the side I made corn with mayo, honey and plenty of Cajun spice.

I accidentally doubled the spice on the salmon. But that side sauce made the difference

Used 2 lbs salmon and one batch of seasoning and mayo. Made plenty. Need to cook at 375 as others recommended. Will make again.

Took a while getting salmon off the skin. Wonder if it made much of a difference with the skin on. Easy to cook and very very tasty

Very easy to make. I like mine more crispy so I put my air fryer on 375. It’s the double ninja air fryer. Taste is very good also. Will make it again for sure.

When I say delicious!!! I mean it! I didn’t have an air fryer so I cooked it in a skillet on stove top as I read in other comments. The sauce was delicious and I paired it with asparagus and a brown rice recipe I saw on here.

It was delicious, I marinated the salmon ahead of time with soy, ginger, chili oil, garlic and honey. Also added lime juice to the dressing. It was a huge hit!

I didn't have an air fryer, so I sauteed in a pan and then served over rice with broccoli. But it turned out surprisingly good! Would definitely recommend

Abbey Carneal· last year

My fiancé and I made this for dinner. It made way too much sauce for the amount of salmon we had. We're going to make it again and hopefully make less sauce. We didn't add sriracha to it the first time, and it was still plenty spicy and tasted delicious. Very easy to whip together for a quick dinner!

Could be another family favourite and a different twist on salmon. Went down great with all the family.

This recipe is very good, I didn’t use as much of the wet ingredients. Made some garlic fried rice to go with it.

Served with sushi rice and seaweed. Very tasty and fast to make. The recipe makes way too much sauce though - half the sauce amount and you will still have plenty.

Great! Loved the sauce, made way to much from the ingredients measurement. What a waste!

Definitely use Kewpie mayonnaise! The store was out, so I used regular mayo and there's a huge difference. Other than that, it was great . . . The green onion seals the deal

Stick to the 3-4 per side. We added some more sraricha for a little more kick in the sauce.

These were really good Note if you are like me and can’t find kewpie mayo: 1/2 cup regular mayo 1 tbsp sugar 2tbsp rice wine vinegar That will make a basic Japanese mayo that you can add the other sauces to.

We loved it! It was a tad on the spicy side, so if you have little ones you are trying to get to eat I would play round with the seasonings until you find one that works for you. Overall this was a hit!! Will definitely be making this again!
