1 tablespoon of olive oil
03 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
04 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
06 -
A pinch of cayenne (optional if you like things spicy)
07 -
Salt and a dash of freshly ground pepper, add as needed
→ Sauce with a Tang
08 -
4 tablespoons mayo
09 -
2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce (Thai-style)
10 -
1 teaspoon of spicy sriracha
11 -
1 teaspoon honey for sweetness
12 -
Juice from a fresh lime, about 1/2 teaspoon
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut your salmon into 1-inch cubes. Toss the pieces with a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne (if you want more spice), salt, and pepper. Make sure it coats evenly.
02 -
On medium-high heat, get your non-stick pan ready. Cook each side of the salmon pieces for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
03 -
Heat your oven to 400°F. Place the seasoned salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment, keeping them spaced apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until thoroughly done.
04 -
Set your air fryer to 375°F. Lay the seasoned salmon in a single layer inside the basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Mix until it's smooth and creamy.
06 -
Coat the cooked salmon pieces in the tangy sauce, or pour it on top. Add some chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or fresh cilantro as a finishing touch, if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Pick your cooking method—pan, oven, or air fryer—all three work great.
02 -
Adjust the heat by tweaking the amount of sriracha or cayenne to your liking.
03 -
The sauce can be prepped up to 3 days before and kept in the fridge.
