We've been SO excited to get this recipe published and in your hands. Everyone who has tried it so far is going crazy over it.

Drumroll please....introducing Salmon Bowls with Bang Bang Sauce!

Why You'll Love It

  • Fast: This recipe is on the table in 35 minutes.
  • Great for Meal Prep: All components store separately and hold up great for up to 4 days.

Here is what you'll need

Ingredient Notes

  • ​Bang Bang Sauce: I only discovered bang bang sauce because of this recipe. Now I keep a squeeze bottle of it in my fridge at all times. It's good on salmon, shrimp, chicken, tacos, rice bowls, roasted veggies, and more.
  • ​Air Fryer Salmon Bites: These aren't just for bowls! While I do love them this way, they are also good over pasta, a salad, or just as a stand alone recipe. A great recipe to have your back pocket.

Hope you enjoy these as much as we have when testing them!
