Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Bang Bang Salmon Bites are a delicious appetizer or snack featuring tender salmon pieces coated in a crunchy panko crust and tossed in a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce made with mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust on your salmon bites.
  2. Prepare the Salmon Bites: Take the salmon cubes and dredge each piece first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy exterior after air frying.
  3. Air Fry the Salmon: Arrange the coated salmon cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides and reach a safe internal temperature.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl, mixing well to create a creamy and spicy Bang Bang sauce.
  5. Toss and Serve: Once the salmon bites are cooked and crispy, either toss them in the Bang Bang sauce to coat evenly or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Serve immediately to enjoy at their crispiest.

Notes

  • You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes for an extra crunch.
  • Adjust the sriracha quantity to control the spiciness of the sauce.
  • Ensure salmon cubes are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • Use wild-caught salmon for better flavor and nutrition.
  • Serve as an appetizer or with a side salad for a light meal.
