Description
Crispy, bite-sized salmon tossed in a creamy, sweet-spicy bang bang sauce and air-fried to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a light oil for air-fryer basket
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Place panko in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each salmon piece into the sauce, letting excess drip off.
- Coat thoroughly in panko and transfer to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Lightly spray or brush with oil for even browning.
- Air-fry at 400°F for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway if needed.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving with remaining sauce.
Notes
Use firm, cold salmon for clean cuts. If using frozen salmon, thaw completely and pat dry. Panko gives the best crisp; regular breadcrumbs work but won’t be as airy.
