If you’re grilling salmon and want something that actually wakes up your taste buds, this is it. Smoky salmon on the grill gets topped with a homemade bang bang sauce that’s sweet, creamy, spicy, and just tropical enough thanks to pineapple. It’s the kind of bang bang salmon that feels a little extra (in a good way) without being complicated.
Tips & Tricks
- Start skin-side down. For the best results when grilling salmon, place it skin-side down first and let it cook most of the way before flipping. It prevents sticking and keeps the fish juicy.
- Sauce after grilling. This recipe for bang bang sauce is best spooned on right before serving. Brushing too early can cause flare-ups because of the sugars.
- Don’t overcook it. Pull the salmon when it flakes easily but still looks slightly glossy in the center. Bang bang salmon recipes shine when the fish stays tender, not dry.
