→ For the Bang Bang Sauce
08 -
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
09 -
1 teaspoon honey
10 -
1 teaspoon sriracha
11 -
2 tablespoons Thai style sweet chili sauce
12 -
1/4 cup mayo
# Instructions:
01 -
Pour the sauce all over your cooked salmon cubes or give them a gentle toss so they’re evenly covered. You want to eat them while they’re still nice and warm.
02 -
Grab a small bowl and mix together mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and that little squeeze of lime. Stir it up so it’s totally smooth.
03 -
Get a big pan hot on medium-high heat. Toss those coated salmon bites in and sear each side for a couple minutes till the outsides get a crispy golden touch and they’re just cooked through.
04 -
Slice up your salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces, about an inch each. Throw them into a bowl with olive oil, all the spices, and give it all a good mix so every chunk is covered.
# Notes:
01 -
Try baking the salmon at 400°F for about 10 minutes or use an air fryer at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes
02 -
Make the sauce ahead—just stash it in the fridge for up to three days
03 -
More or less heat? Play around with the amount of sriracha or cayenne
