Ingredients

• Salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized cubes
• Hexa American BBQ & Steak Spice Seasoning
• Garlic salt
• Lemon pepper
• BBQ seasoning
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• Low sodium soy sauce
• Greek yogurt (thick)
• Sweet Thai chili sauce
• Sriracha sauce
• Mayonnaise (optional)
• Asparagus spears
• Small knob of butter

Method

1. Cut fresh salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
2. Season the salmon generously with American BBQ seasoning, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and BBQ spices.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and a splash of low-sodium soy sauce. Mix and massage thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
4. Place the marinated salmon cubes into the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for approximately 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, sweet Thai chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth (add mayonnaise if a richer sauce is desired).
6. In a hot wok or pan, melt a knob of butter and add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, sauté briefly, then add a splash of water to steam until tender-crisp.
7. Plate the sautéed asparagus, top with the air-fried salmon bites, and drizzle generously with the prepared bang bang sauce before serving.
