Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp fresh lime juice until smooth; set aside as bang bang sauce.
Step 2: Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Season 4 skin-on salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and skin is crispy.
Step 3: While salmon cooks, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz trimmed green beans and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 4: Toss cooked green beans with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve salmon fillets drizzled generously with the prepared bang bang sauce alongside sesame green beans.
