1-Before you start: quick setup* Choose your cooking method: air fryer or oven.* Cut salmon into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.* Mix the sauce ingredients in one bowl so everything stays fast and organized.

2-First Step: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F. This helps the salmon bites cook quickly and keeps the outside from getting soggy.

3-Second Step: Toss the salmon pieces with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Make sure every cube gets a light coating.

4-Third Step: Mix the Bang Bang Sauce: combine 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce, 2 teaspoons Sriracha (adjustable for heat), and 2 tablespoons honey. Stir until smooth.

5-Fourth Step: Reserve half of the sauce for drizzling later. Coat the salmon with the remaining half, so it’s sauced but not swimming.

6-Final Step: Air fry in batches (avoid overcrowding) for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 140-145°F. Drizzle the reserved sauce on top and garnish with chives before serving.

7-First Step: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

8-Second Step: Season the salmon bites using the same mix: 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Keep the pieces in even-sized cubes for consistent results.

9-Third Step: Place the seasoned salmon bites on the lined sheet, but do not add sauce yet. Leave space so steam can escape and you get better texture.

10-Fourth Step: Bake for 16 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

11-Final Step: Toss with the Bang Bang Sauce after baking, then garnish with chives. Serve right away for best bite and flavor.
