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 and the bites fry crisp.
  2. Set up Breading Station: Arrange three bowls for breading: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly season the crust.
  3. Coat the Salmon: Dip each salmon cube first in the flour to lightly coat, then into the beaten eggs, and finally roll in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place coated pieces aside ready for frying.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, roughly 350°F (175°C) if using a thermometer.
  5. Fry the Bites: Fry the salmon bites in batches, avoiding overcrowding, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined for a creamy, tangy, and spicy sauce.
  7. Serve: Drizzle or toss the crispy salmon bites with the Bang Bang sauce immediately to retain their crispiness. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry is essential to achieve a crispy coating.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity in the sauce according to your spice preference.
  • Maintain oil temperature to prevent soggy or greasy bites.
  • Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • For best results, serve immediately after frying while still hot and crispy.
