Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon into 1-inch chunks.
Add to a glass bowl with the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toss well and set aside for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and the olive oil until well blended, then mix in the sriracha; set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add the rest of the olive oil and the salmon chunks.
Sear on all sides, using tongs to turn the pieces.
