Description
A delicious Bang Bang Salmon Bowl featuring crispy salmon bites and a creamy, spicy sauce that elevates each bite.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet (skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust according to desired heat)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (or lime juice for brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the salmon cubes dry and season them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the seasoned salmon cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 7–9 minutes, shaking halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- While the salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small bowl to create the bang bang sauce.
- Once cooked, gently toss the crispy salmon bites in the sauce or drizzle it over the top before serving.
- Serve over rice or greens, adding toppings like cucumber, avocado, and sesame seeds.
Notes
For a crunchy texture, cook slightly longer and serve the sauce on the side to maintain crispiness.
