Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture. Remove any skin and cut the salmon into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Place the salmon pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 3

Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly with the seasoning.

Step 4

Make the Bang Bang Sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the sauce—add more sriracha for heat or honey for sweetness. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the salmon pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if needed.

Step 8

Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, gently turning to brown all sides. Cook until the salmon is golden and crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside.

Step 9

Transfer cooked salmon bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 10

Drizzle it: Place the salmon bites on a serving platter and drizzle the sauce over them.
