Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

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
 

  • 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.
    Cubed raw salmon with seasoning in a glass bowl on a gray textured surface.
  • 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.

Notes

  • NOTES: Adapted from my Air Fryer Salmon Bites and Bang Bang Shrimp. Nutrition is calculated without the serving suggestions
  • TO STORE: Refrigerate leftover bang bang salmon bites in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
  • TO REHEAT: 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.
