Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 ½ pounds Salmon (about 4 filets, skins removed, cut into 1-inch bites)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 cup (232 g) Mayonnaise
- ½ cup (132 g) Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- Chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the salmon bites and gently toss to coat them evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Stir until smooth.
- Set aside half of the sauce for later, and toss the seasoned salmon bites in the remaining sauce.
- Working in batches, arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 140–145°F (60–63°C).
- Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate and drizzle with the reserved Bang Bang sauce.
- Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
