Preparation Steps
  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, take your salmon pieces and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Toss gently until well coated.
  3. Set your air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange the seasoned salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.
  5. Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. Transfer your Bang Bang Salmon Bites to a serving platter, drizzle with the prepared sauce, and offer extra sauce on the side for dipping.
