Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Make the sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
  • Marinate the salmon – In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the paprika, onion powder, black pepper, soy sauce and olive oil. Toss well to coat. Spoon ¼ cup of the bang bang sauce into the bowl and gently toss again to lightly coat the salmon pieces. Set the remaining sauce aside for serving.
  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods – Air fryer (recommended): Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden and cooked through. Pan-fry: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the salmon cubes and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes to brown each side, until golden and just cooked through.
