Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb fresh, skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour; the second with beaten eggs; and the third with panko breadcrumbs mixed evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Bread the Salmon Bites: Coat each salmon cube first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the seasoned panko mixture. Place coated pieces aside on a plate.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour about one inch of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, around 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the Salmon: Carefully fry the salmon bites in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the salmon is cooked through.
  6. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  7. Serve: Drizzle or toss the crispy salmon bites with the Bang Bang sauce and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon pieces are dry to get a crispy coating.
  • Adjust sriracha amount in the sauce to control spice level.
  • Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • Serve immediately as the crispy texture diminishes when left to sit.
  • Can be served with extra lime wedges or fresh herbs for garnish.
