Method
- Cut salmon into uniform 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- For skillet method: Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon cubes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- For oven method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange salmon on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
- For air fryer method: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook salmon for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
- Let cooked salmon rest for 1 minute, then gently toss with bang bang sauce until well coated.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For best results, don't overcrowd the pan when cooking - work in batches if needed. Store leftover salmon and sauce separately to maintain crispiness. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
