Ingredients
  

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot chilli sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon cut into 3 cm (1¼ inch) cubes
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Cucumber and Avocado Salad

  • 2 pieces Lebanese cucumbers sliced
  • 1 piece avocado diced
  • 1 piece spring onion finely chopped, plus extra to serve
  • ½ bunch coriander finely chopped
  • 1 cup edamame beans thawed and drained
  • 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil optional
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the paprika, onion powder, black pepper, soy sauce and olive oil. Toss well to coat. Spoon ¼ cup (60 ml) of the bang bang sauce into the bowl and gently toss again to lightly coat the salmon pieces. Set the remaining sauce aside for serving.
  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods: Air fryer: Preheat to 200°C (400°F). Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes. Pan-fry: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook salmon cubes for 6-8 minutes. Oven-bake: Preheat to 220°C (425°F). Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Combine the salad ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, tossing to coat everything in the dressing. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Divide the rice among four bowls, then top with the cooked salmon. Drizzle the reserved bang bang sauce over the salmon. Serve the cucumber and avocado salad on the side.

Notes

Optional serving suggestion includes steamed jasmine rice and lime wedges.
