Instructions
- Cut the salmon into uniform 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

- In another bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the bang bang sauce until smooth.
