Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the salmon cubes in this mixture until well coated.
Place the panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Roll each salmon cube in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Drizzle olive oil over the top or spray with cooking spray for crispiness.
Place the salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in the air fryer basket. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or air-fry for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and lime juice until smooth to make the Bang Bang sauce.
In serving bowls, place jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice) as the base. Add the crispy salmon bites on top, followed by shredded cabbage, avocado slices, shredded carrots, and green onions. Drizzle with Bang Bang sauce and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double coating the salmon bites with breadcrumbs. Adjust seasoning and spice level to personal preference.
