salmon fillets

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Tilapia is a more affordable fish option.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, and ginger to make the sauce.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.

Spread the sauce generously over each salmon fillet.

In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs, paprika, and chopped green onions.

Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the sauce on the salmon.

Drizzle olive oil over the bread crumbs to help them brown.

Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
