This Sweet Bang Bang Salmon Tacos comes together in about 30 minutes and is baked to perfection for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!

Ingredients Breakdown

Here’s what you’ll need for these Easy Sweet Bang Bang Salmon Tacos:

1 pound salmon fillets
Taco shells or soft corn tortillas
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1-2 tablespoons sriracha
Shredded cabbage
Lime
Fresh cilantro
Avocado (optional)
Salt and pepper

Let’s Get Cooking!

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). That’s the magic number we need for perfectly cooked salmon. As it heats, your kitchen will start smelling amazing!
Season the salmon fillets with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Massage that seasoning into the fish, it’s a simple step that really makes a difference!
Place the seasoned salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Parchment paper makes clean-up a breeze, and you won’t have to worry about sticking.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You want it to be tender, not dry.
While the salmon is baking, let’s whip up the Bang Bang sauce! In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Taste and adjust the amount of sriracha if you like it a bit spicier, yum!
Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.
Warm your taco shells in the oven until toasty, about 3-5 minutes. This gives them that nice crisp that contrasts beautifully with the soft salmon and crunchy cabbage!
Assemble the tacos: Start with flaked salmon, add a handful of shredded cabbage, and drizzle with that luscious Bang Bang sauce. Sprinkle some cilantro on top, and if you’re feeling it, throw on some avocado slices!
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving. This is what brings everything together!
Serve warm and enjoy! Each bite will be a symphony of flavors and textures.

Serving & Storage

Serving Suggestions

These tacos are fantastic alongside fresh salsa or guacamole and a side of Mexican street corn. For drinks, a nice iced tea or a classic margarita works beautifully!

Storage

Leftovers, if you have any, can be kept in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Be sure to store the salmon and sauce separately from the tacos to prevent sogginess.

Reheating Instructions

To reheat, pop the salmon in the oven for about 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until hot. If you microwave, just be careful not to overdo it, or you’ll lose that lovely texture.

Freezer Friendly

While I wouldn’t recommend freezing the assembled tacos, you can freeze the cooked salmon for up to 3 months! Just thaw and heat when you’re ready!
