Ingredients 

Salmon

Bang Bang Sauce

Garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the cubed salmon with salt, smoked paprika, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and oil. Gently toss until the salmon is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 15 mins while you make the bang bang sauce.
    1 pound salmon filets, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together Japanese mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
    ⅓ cup Japanese mayo, 2 tablespoon sweet chili sauce, 2 teaspoon sriracha, 1 teaspoon honey, 2 teaspoon rice vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Add salmon cubes to an air fryer (don’t overcrowd and cook in batches if needed) and cook at 400F for 7-9 mins until browned and cooked through. If you prefer to pan-fry or bake the salmon, see alternate cooking methods in the recipe notes below.
  • Serve the salmon over a bed of rice or salad and drizzle the bang bang sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
    Sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Notes

Alternate cooking methods:
  • Pan-Fry Method: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, turning gently to avoid breaking the pieces. Remove from heat.
  • Oven-Baked Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the salmon cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until cooked through and lightly caramelized at the edges.
