Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix well to create the Bang Bang sauce. Set aside half of the sauce for drizzling later.
- In a separate bowl, toss the salmon cubes with paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy.
- Transfer the cooked salmon bites to a large bowl. Pour the reserved half of the Bang Bang sauce over the bites and gently toss to coat.
- Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce from the bowl over the top.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly dust the salmon pieces with a tablespoon of cornstarch before seasoning.
- If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake these at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.
- Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
