Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Fillets
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 2: Make the Sweet Chili Sriracha Glaze
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice.
Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed, creating a smooth and creamy glaze. Taste and adjust the sriracha if you want more or less heat.
Step 3: Sear the Salmon
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down if your fillets have skin.
Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. Avoid moving the salmon too much to let it cook evenly.
Step 4: Apply the Glaze
After both sides of the salmon are seared, reduce the heat to low.
Spoon the sweet chili sriracha glaze over each fillet, spreading it evenly over the top with a spoon or brush.
Step 5: Let the Glaze Cook
Allow the salmon to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat, letting the glaze melt into the fillets and become slightly caramelized.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired for an extra layer of flavor and a touch of color.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
