Instructions
Cut salmon into 2-inch pieces and season all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
In one mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. In another bowl, add half of this sauce and all of the salmon pieces and gently stir to coat each piece in the sauce.
Heat skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook salmon for 2-3 minutes on both sides (cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan).
Remove from the pan, and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Drizzle with extra sauce and top with green onions before serving.
Notes
To bake instead: preheat the oven to 425º F. Cut salmon into pieces then coat in oil, seasonings, and sauce. Bake on a lined baking sheet for 10 minutes then broil for 5 minutes for more crispiness.
The same recipe can be used for shrimp and chicken. Just adjust cooking times to make sure the proteins are safe for eating.
You can also use this recipe for whole salmon fillets instead of cutting them into bite-sized pieces
