Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or set your air fryer to the same temperature.
  2. In a bowl, mix together garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the salmon cubes with the seasoning.
  3. Place panko breadcrumbs in another bowl. Take each seasoned salmon cube and coat it with the breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Place the breaded salmon bites in the oven or in the air fryer. If using the oven, bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden and cooked through. If using an air fryer, cook for about 8-10 minutes.
Make the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and lime juice.
Assembly
  1. In a bowl, place some cooked jasmine rice or cauliflower rice. Top with the crispy salmon bites, shredded purple cabbage, avocado slices, and shredded carrots.
  2. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce on top and sprinkle with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Notes

These salmon bites are best served fresh from the oven or air fryer. Reheat leftovers for a few minutes to get them crispy again before serving.
