  3. Heat avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the salmon bites for 2–3 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown.
3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce
  1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and lime juice.

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store salmon separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: In an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes, or in a skillet for 2–3 minutes.
  • Avoid microwaving to keep the crispiness!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, air fry salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Make it low-carb by using crushed pork rinds instead of panko and cauliflower rice.
  • Add a soft-boiled egg or avocado for extra creaminess!
