Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup diced mango, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, stirring until honey dissolves. Brush this mixture over both sides of salmon fillets, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
2. Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, mix 1/4 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Toss gently and let sit for 5 minutes before serving alongside the salmon.
