Make crispy, moist salmon bites quickly in your air fryer and top them with a simple, spicy Bang Bang sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the salmon cubes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. While the salmon cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
  6. Remove the cooked salmon bites from the air fryer.
  7. Toss the warm salmon bites lightly in about half of the Bang Bang sauce, or drizzle the sauce over the top of the bites on a serving platter.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the salmon bites with cooking spray just before placing them in the air fryer.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, chill it for 15 minutes before serving.
  • You can substitute dried minced onion for fresh green onion if needed.
