Instructions 

 

  • Cook rice in salted water according the package directions.
  • In the meantime, pat the salmon fillets dry. Cut lengthwise in half, then into 1 inch/2.5 cm cubes. In a bowl, combine the salmon cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Cajun seasoning. Toss well to coat the salmon evenly. Set aside.
  • Make the bang bang sauce by adding the ingredients to a bowl or jar. Whisk well to combine.
  • Chop the chives.
  • Heat oil and butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon cubes and place in a single layer. Sear for 1 minute, turn and sear for 1 minute more.
  • Serve immediately over rice. Drizzle with prepared sauce and garnish with chives. Pair with a cucumber salad.
