Ingredients
Salmon Bites:
- 1 ½ pounds salmon fillets skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
Bang Bang Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon bites, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the salmon bites are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Place the salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the salmon bites for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and crispy on the edges.
- Transfer the cooked salmon bites to a serving platter and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce. Serve the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes
- Use fresh, skinless salmon fillets cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the sauce to control the heat level.
- Cook the salmon bites in a single layer to keep them crispy; cook in batches if necessary.
- Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the salmon just before serving so that it stays crispy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze cooked salmon bites in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
