Creating Air Fryer Bang Bang Salmon is simple when you follow these steps:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until well combined. Adjust the heat level by adding more or less sriracha, if desired.
- Air Fry the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.
- Apply the Sauce: In the last few minutes of cooking, brush a generous amount of the bang bang sauce over the salmon to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving, letting the flavors set.
