Baked Salmon with Mayo

Step 1

Pre-heat the broiler in your oven and line a sheet pan with foil.

Step 2

Pat raw salmon filets dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Mix up mayonnaise, sriracha, garlic, salt and lemon juice in a small bowl. I like 2 good pinches of Kosher salt per 2 Tbsp of mayo.

Step 4

Spread the mayo mixture on top fo the salmon.

Step 5

Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes and keep an eye on the salmon. The mayo will bubble. Then, shut the broiler off and set the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 6

Move the salmon to the middle oven rack. Let finish cooking for another 10-13 minutes in the oven.

Step 7

Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork or is at least 145 degrees F when measured with an instant read thermometer.
