Prep the Salmon:

• Pat salmon cubes dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture ensures crispiness.

• Place salmon pieces in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne. Toss until evenly coated.

Make Bang Bang Sauce:

• In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust spice or sweetness as desired.

Cook the Salmon:

• Pan-sear method: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook salmon pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

• Baking method: Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until cooked through.

• Air-fryer method: Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Arrange salmon in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway.

Sauce the Salmon:

• Either drizzle Bang Bang sauce over salmon pieces on a serving platter or place cooked salmon in a bowl and toss gently with sauce until coated.

Garnish & Serve:

• Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy warm with rice, salad, or veggies!
