Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Make the sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
  • Marinate the salmon – 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. If using an air fryer or oven, you can also brush the sauce onto the salmon pieces once the salmon is arranged in the air fryer basket or on the baking tray. Set the remaining sauce aside for serving.
  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods – Air fryer (recommended): Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden and cooked through.
  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods – Pan-fry: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the salmon cubes and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes to brown each side, until golden and just cooked through.
  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods – Oven-bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer. Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, or until cooked through and slightly golden on the edges. Finish with 2–3 minutes under the oven grill if you want extra crispiness.
