Ingredients

Salmon:

2 lbs salmon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder (or a little more to taste)
1 tsp onion powder (or a little more to taste)
1 tsp smoked paprika (or a little more to taste)
1 tsp salt (or a little more to taste)
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cornstarch (2-3 tbsp - This helps with the coating to get the salmon nice and crispy)

Sauce:

1/2 cup mayo (organic & dairy free, I use Primal)
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (organic, I used Whole Foods organic)
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp honey (organic, raw)
1 tbsp lime juice (fresh)

Things to garnish/serve with such as sesame seeds, green onions, rice, cucumber salad, etc.

Instructions

1
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and dice it into small cubes.
2
In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the bang bang sauce ingredients and set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, olive oil, seasonings, and cornstarch. Mix until all the salmon is coated well.
4
Preheat a skillet over medium/high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
5
Sear each salmon bite for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Alternatively, you can air fry these for 8 to 10-ish minutes at 400°F.
6
Mix the cooked bang bang salmon bites in the bang bang sauce or serve the sauce on the side. I love serving these with my Asian Cucumber Salad.
