1-Getting started: Getting started with this recipe is straightforward, and it begins with preheating your air fryer to 390°F for that perfect crisp. Combine the 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Toss the 1 ½ pounds salmon bites gently in this seasoning mixture to coat them evenly.

2-Next: mix up the Bang Bang sauce by combining 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, and 2 tablespoons honey in a separate bowl. Reserve half of the sauce for later drizzling, then toss the salmon bites in the rest. Place the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it, and air fry for 4-5 minutes.

3-After the first few minutes, flip the bites and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 140-145°F. Once done, transfer them to a plate, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and garnish with chives for a fresh finish. If you prefer oven instructions, preheat to 400°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the seasoned salmon on it without sauce, and bake for 16 minutes, flipping halfway, then toss in the sauce before serving.
