Bang Bang Salmon Ingredients

Like the majority of my recipes, this one is fairly simple to make and the list of ingredients is short.

If you keep reading, I’ll also give you some alternative ingredients as well as other additional ingredients you can add to this yummy Bang Bang Salmon recipe.

Here is the short list of ingredients:

• Salmon Filets
• Broccoli Florets
• Greek yogurt or sour cream
• Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
• Sriracha Hot Sauce

Low Carb Bang Bang Sauce for Salmon

As I mention above, this bang bang sauce includes yogurt or sour cream as well as Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha sauce if you want a little more heat.

This low carb sauce for salmon is super versatile.

If you want it less creamy, add less yogurt (or more chili sauce).

If you prefer using a chili sauce that contains even less carbs, then use a chili sauce that is either not sweetened or has less sugar.

You can always add low carb sweetener of your choice to your sauce, so make it how you prefer it!

If you think you’re going to love the sauce, double the recipe so you have extra to drizzle over the top of your salmon and broccoli bowls!

You can also skip the sauce all together if it’s not your jam.

Additionally, if you just want a little extra heat, consider drizzling a little Sriracha sauce over the top and call it done!

How to Serve Bang Bang Salmon & Broccoli Bowls

Bang Bang Salmon Air Fryer Instructions

If you’re like me and you love your air fryer, you can easily cook the salmon bites in your air fryer. Here are the quick instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 3 minutes
2. Spray the air fryer with olive oil spray
3. Add the salmon bites to the air fryer in an even layer 
4. Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, gently tossing half way

All air fryers cook differently, so best to check your salmon a few minutes before the end of the air fry to time to check the doneness.
