Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh mussels
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Thoroughly clean and debeard the mussels. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it with the vegetable oil.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dynamite sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Adjust spice level if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Set aside.
Arrange the mussels on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Top each mussel with a generous dollop of dynamite sauce, spreading it slightly to cover the meat of the mussel.
Sprinkle the buttered panko breadcrumbs evenly over the seasoned mussels.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove the mussels from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately on a platter and enjoy as a delectable appetizer or light entrée.
