Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. Avoid moving the salmon too much to let it cook evenly.
Step 4: Apply the Glaze
After both sides of the salmon are seared, reduce the heat to low.
Spoon the sweet chili sriracha glaze over each fillet, spreading it evenly over the top with a spoon or brush.
Step 5: Let the Glaze Cook
Allow the salmon to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat, letting the glaze melt into the fillets and become slightly caramelized.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired for an extra layer of flavor and a touch of color.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can I bake the salmon instead of searing it on the stove?
Yes, you can bake the salmon. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Add the glaze during the last few minutes of baking.
Q2: Is there a substitute for mayonnaise in the glaze?
If you prefer, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for mayonnaise to reduce calories and add a tangier flavor to the glaze.
Q3: Can I make this glaze less spicy?
Certainly. Adjust the spice level by reducing the amount of sriracha, or substitute it with a milder sauce. You can also increase the sweet chili sauce for extra sweetness.
Q4: How can I tell when the salmon is cooked through?
The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender and moist.
