Air fryer sweet-chilli salmon bites with sesame-garlic broccoli recipe

If you want to tone down the spiciness here, omit the cayenne pepper. Or, for extra heat, sprinkle with finely chopped red chilli. I usually serve this with rice or noodles but you could also try it with cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
