Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Choose your preferred cooking method for the salmon bites: pan-searing, baking, or air-frying.
  4. Once your salmon bites are cooked, remove them from the heat. Drizzle or toss with the Bang Bang sauce until each piece is coated.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
