Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
What is Bang Bang Sauce?

Bang Bang sauce is a creamy, slightly spicy sauce made from a combination of mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. It's famous for its use in Bang Bang shrimp dishes but pairs perfectly with salmon as well.

What kind of salmon should I use?

You can use fresh or frozen salmon fillets. If using frozen, ensure they are fully thawed before cooking. Wild-caught salmon is often recommended for its richer flavor, but any good-quality salmon will work.

What temperature should I set the air fryer to?

The air fryer should typically be preheated to 400°F (200°C) for cooking salmon. This temperature ensures the salmon cooks evenly and gets a nice, crisp exterior.

Do I need to flip the salmon in the air fryer?

It's not necessary to flip the salmon, but you can if you want a more even crisp on both sides. Air fryers circulate hot air, so the salmon should cook well without flipping.
