Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Bang Bang Salmon Bites is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, mix the panko bread crumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Salmon: Dip each salmon piece into the flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by coating it with the panko mixture. Press the crumbs onto the salmon to ensure an even coating.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange the Bites: Place the coated salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
6. Air Fry: Cook the salmon bites for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and drizzle with the bang bang sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
