Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed, cut into 1-inch bites
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon bites and toss them to coat evenly in the seasoning mixture.
- Place the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry the salmon bites for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon is cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey until smooth and well-combined.
- Once the salmon bites are done, toss them in the prepared sauce until fully coated.
- Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your heat preference.
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- For extra crispy salmon bites, you can spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of cooking spray before placing the salmon bites inside.
