Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, toss the fresh salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Press each seasoned salmon piece into panko breadcrumbs and arrange them on a baking sheet or in your air fryer basket, spacing them out for air circulation. Spray with olive oil.
  4. Cook the salmon bites in the oven for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a bowl to make the Bang Bang sauce.
