Preparation

  • Make the sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
  • Marinate the salmon – In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the paprika, onion powder, black pepper, soy sauce and olive oil. Toss well to coat. Spoon 60 ml of the bang bang sauce into the bowl and gently toss again to lightly coat the salmon pieces. Set the remaining sauce aside for serving.

Cooking

  • Cook the salmon using one of the following methods: Air fryer, Pan-fry, or Oven-bake.
  • For Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer. Air fry for 8–10 minutes.
  • For Pan-fry: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes.
  • For Oven-bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C, line a baking tray, and bake for 12–15 minutes.

Salad Preparation

  • Make the salad – Combine the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, tossing to coat everything in the dressing.

Serving

  • Serve – Divide the rice among four bowls, top with cooked salmon and drizzle reserved bang bang sauce over the salmon or serve it on the side. Serve salad on the side with extra spring onion and lime wedges, if using.
