Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon

  • 1 pound center cut salmon skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • ⅓ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons Thai-style sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha plus additional to taste

For Serving

  • white or brown rice
  • edamame
  • diced avocado
  • thinly sliced cucumber
  • thinly sliced green onion
  • chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl. Top with the oil, honey, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
  • Add the salmon bites to the air fryer, ensuring they are not touching—do not overlap the cubes; you may need to cook in 2 batches. Air fry at 400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, until cooked through (no need to flip). The salmon should flake easily with a fork and register 145°F on an instant read thermometer.
  • Mix together the Bang Bang sauce ingredients: Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Taste and adjust the heat as desired.
  • Serve the salmon with rice, edamame, avocado, cucumber, and a drizzle of bang bang sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro. DEVOUR!

Notes

Adapted from Air Fryer Salmon Bites and Bang Bang Shrimp. Nutrition is calculated without the serving suggestions. Refrigerate leftover bang bang salmon bites in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Gently reheat the salmon in the microwave or in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat until just warmed through. To make in the oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Instead of air frying, arrange the salmon bites on the sheet so they are not touching. Bake at 425°F, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (145°F internally), about 8 minutes. For crispier edges, broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
