Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bang Bang Salmon

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Reserve some for serving.
  • Coat the Salmon: In another bowl, add cubed salmon and pour half of the sauce over it. Toss gently to coat the salmon.
  • Choose Your Cooking Method: For air frying, preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F). For pan-frying, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, or preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) for baking.
  • Cook the Salmon: Air-fry for 8-10 minutes until crispy. For pan-frying, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Bake for 12-15 minutes until fish flakes easily.
  • Prepare the Salad: Chop cucumber, avocado, and edamame. Toss lightly in a medium bowl to create a salad.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salmon with the salad and drizzle with reserved sauce for extra flavor.

Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for best results. Adjust sauce components to taste and avoid overcrowding during cooking.
