Creating Air Fryer Bang Bang Salmon Bites is incredibly easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).

2. Make the Coating: In one bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg.

3. Coat the Salmon: Dip each salmon piece in the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then, dredge it through the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

5. Air Fry the Salmon Bites: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place the salmon bites in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Spray the tops lightly with more cooking spray.

6. Cook: Air fry the salmon bites at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

7. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: While the salmon bites are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.

8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with a drizzle of Bang Bang sauce on top or a side for dipping.
