Ingredients -

- 1 lb salmon (about 2 filets), cut into small cubes

- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika

- 2 teaspoons garlic powder

- 2 teaspoons onion powder

- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 2 teaspoons salt

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (add more if needed)

- 3 tablespoons honey

- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha

- Garnish: flaky salt, chopped scallions

For the Creamy Dipping Sauce:

- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt

- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

- 2 teaspoons sriracha

- 1 garlic clove, minced

- Juice of 1/4 lemon

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 2 sprigs scallions, thinly chopped

Instructions -

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

2. In another bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil until well coated. If needed, add more oil.

3. Add the salmon to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until evenly coated.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (200°C). Once hot, add the salmon to your air fryer basket and spray lightly with olive oil for extra crunch. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. For oven users, bake a little longer and broil for the last few minutes to achieve crispiness.

5. Place the fried salmon in a bowl, add sriracha and honey, and toss until well coated.

6. Combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and scallions in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

6. Serve the salmon bites warm with dipping sauce, sprinkled with flaky salt and scallions.

These Crispy Honey Sriracha Salmon Bites are a perfect party starter or a fantastic way to spice up your mealtime. The creamy dipping sauce complements the spicy bites perfectly, making for a truly indulgent experience.
