# What You'll Need:

→ Salmon Bites

01 - 680 g salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
07 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

→ Bang Bang Sauce

09 - 120 ml mayonnaise
10 - 60 ml Thai sweet chili sauce
11 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, adjust to taste
12 - 1 tablespoon honey
13 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

→ Garnish (optional)

14 - Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
15 - Green onions, sliced
16 - Sesame seeds

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Pat salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Cut the salmon into even, bite-sized cubes approximately 2.5 cm each.
02 - In a mixing bowl, drizzle the salmon cubes with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Gently toss until evenly coated.
03 - Combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice in a separate bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust sriracha or honey to taste. Set aside.
04 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil. Place salmon cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes, turning gently to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and tender interior. Cook in batches if needed.
05 - Transfer cooked salmon onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Drizzle with Bang Bang sauce or gently toss salmon with the sauce in a bowl to coat evenly.
06 - Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For extra crispy results, ensure salmon pieces are thoroughly dried before seasoning.
02 - Salmon may also be air fried at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
