1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 clove garlic (minced)

1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp seafood seasoning
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1 - MARINADE
Whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a deep dish. 

STEP 2 - MARINADE
Cut the salmon into smaller fillets. Season each piece with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning. 

STEP 3 - MARINADE
Place the salmon in the dish with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
