# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until a smooth dressing forms.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
03 -
Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking tray. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper. Distribute the Bang Bang sauce generously across the surfaces of each fillet.
04 -
Place the tray in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon turns opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Remove baked salmon from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and, if desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For even cooking, ensure fillets are of similar thickness and avoid overbaking to retain moisture.
