Notes
Important Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillet and your oven. Check for doneness using the flaking method and/or a thermometer.
STORE FOR LATER: Once the salmon has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for 2-3 days.
FREEZE ME: The bang bang salmon can be frozen in a freezer-safe container or a Ziploc bag for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place salmon on a baking sheet and reheat for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Cover lightly with foil to prevent drying out.
