 Ingredients

For the Salmon Bites

  • Salmon fillets — cut into bite-sized pieces

  • Olive oil

  • Garlic powder

  • Smoked paprika

  • Onion powder (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper

  • Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

For the Bang Bang Sauce

 Instructions

1. Season the Salmon

Pat the salmon pieces dry. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder (if using), salt, pepper, and cayenne (if you want heat).

2. Cook the Salmon

  • Air Fryer: Preheat to about 400°F (200°C). Place salmon in a single layer and cook 8–10 minutes until crispy and cooked through.

  • Oven: Preheat to ~425°F (220°C). Arrange salmon on a baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes.

  • Skillet: Heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat and sear the salmon bites until golden and cooked through.

3. Make the Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and lime juice until smooth. Adjust sweetness and spice to taste.

4. Combine & Serve

Toss the cooked salmon bites in the sauce or drizzle it over top. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

  • Over steamed jasmine or basmati rice.

  • As an appetizer with toothpicks and extra dipping sauce.

 Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerator: Store salmon and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 2–3 days.

  • Reheat: Warm gently in an oven, air fryer, or skillet to keep the salmon from drying out.
