These Keto Friendly Air Fryer Mahi Mahi Bites are one of my go to recipes when I'm looking for a quick healthy low carb meal.

Sugar Free Bang Bang Dipping Sauce
I have made thousands of gallons of bang bang sauce over my career in the restaurant business. Its always bee a favorite of the customers because of its creamy, spicy and sweet flavors. I recently tried the Sugar Free Sweet Thai Chili Sauce from G. Hughes and immediately knew I had to make a keto version of bang bang sauce.

- 1 tsp Sesame Oil

Tips for Making Air Fryer Mahi Mahi Bites
- If you don't have an Air Fryer you can make mahi mahi in the oven just as easily. Set oven to broil (low) and spread the mahi out on a sheet pan on the bottom rack. Broil for 15 Minutes and flip half way.
- Use other flavor combinations: Jerk Seasoning with Honey Mustard, Blackened with Ranch or Buffalo with bleu cheese are just a few more ways you can spice up the Mahi Bites.
- If using fresh Mahi have your fish monger remove the skin and bones to save you time. They have super sharp knives and have done it a thousand times.
- Spray the tray or basket of the air fryer to prevent the mahi from sticking
- Dont Like Mahi???? You can make chicken bites, shrimp or even pork using the same cooking method. The time might change by a few minutes but everything else is the same.
- These Mahi bites are also great on salads and the bang bang dressing is perfect for salad as well.
