Bang Bang Mahi Mahi Bowls
It may sound a little redundant calling this dinner recipe Bang Bang Mahi Mahi Bowls, but hey… that’s the actual name of the sauce and the name of the fish.
I paired this viral sauce with my favorite seafood for a fabulous, healthy-ish rice bowl with broccoli made in my air fryer.
By using nonfat plain yogurt in place of the traditional mayo, it added some protein and cut quite a few calories.

How to make Bang Bang Mahi Mahi Bowls
First, we will make the sweet and spicy sauce by combining 1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt (or mayo) with 1/3 cup sweet Thai chili sauce.
A little sriracha, stir, and boom… you have bang bang sauce!
Next cut 4 fillets of mahi mahi into bite size chunks.
And place them into a bowl.
Then crack an egg and beat with a fork in one bowl.
And in another bowl combine 1/2 cup flour with kosher salt, pepper, and any favorite seasoning blend you have.
I am using my Blackstone Honey Jalapeno seasoning to add to the sweet and spicy vibes.
Set up a breading station right next to your air fryer basket just like this.
Dip each mahi bite in the egg, then into the seasoned flour, and into the air fryer basket.
Spray with olive oil and set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
A little golden brown but not overcooked is what we are going for here.
Add the broccoli after removing the fish from the air fryer.
Spray broccoli with more olive oil and season with kosher salt, pepper, and seasoning blend of choice.
While the broccoli cooks for 8 minutes at 400 degrees, microwave the rice pouches and start assembling the bowls.
Divide the cooked rice between 4 bowls, toss the mahi mahi with some of the bang bang sauce and place over top.
Finally add the broccoli when it’s done in the air fryer.
Serve Bang Bang Mahi Mahi Bowls with the remaining sauce over top and enjoy 🙂
Leftovers were super good warmed up the next day too!

Microwave rice according to package directions. Divide between 4 bowls. Toss mahi bites in the bang bang sauce and put them over the rice with the broccoli.
Note: I put the mahi mahi in a container with a lid and some of the sauce, shake until evenly coated.

Drizzle any extra sauce over top and serve right away.
