Ingredients
- – 450g salmon fillets, skinless (1 lb)
- – 15g sweet paprika (1 tbsp)
- – 15g brown sugar (1 tbsp)
- – 15g garlic powder (1 tbsp)
- – 5g salt (1 tsp)
- – 5g black pepper (1 tsp)
- – 1.25g red pepper flakes (1/4 tsp)
- – 120g light mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
- – 60g sweet chili sauce (1/4 cup)
- – 7.5g honey (1/2 tbsp)
- – 7.5g lemon juice (1/2 tbsp)
- – 5g sriracha can add 5-10g more if you want it spicier (1 tsp)
- – 15g water (more or less depending on if you want it as a sauce or more like a dressing) (1 tbsp)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl or shaking them in a mason jar. Keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. The dressing will become thicker over time; to thin it out, simply shake it with a bit more water until you reach the preferred consistency.
- Set your air fryer to preheat at 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients by whisking them together.
- Use a paper towel to dry the salmon and then cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the salmon chunks in a bowl and lightly coat them with cooking spray. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon chunks and toss to ensure an even coating.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the salmon pieces in the basket in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and no longer pink.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt instead of light mayonnaise for a healthier, lighter sauce.
- Experiment with cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a unique salmon flavor.
- Adjust honey or brown sugar for a sweeter sauce to your liking.
