For the Salmon Bites:
  • 1 lb fresh salmon skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra spice
  • Cooking oil olive, vegetable or avocado oil for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha adjust for heat preference

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper if using.
  2. Dredging Station: In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
  3. Coat the Salmon: Dip each salmon piece into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere the coating.
  4. Fry Until Golden: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the salmon bites for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, Sriracha, and lime juice.
  6. Toss and Serve: Drizzle or toss the crispy salmon bites in the bang bang sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
