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 into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well and the bites fry up crispy.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Bread the Salmon Bites: Take each salmon cube and coat it first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Set the coated bites aside on a plate.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, about 350°F (175°C) if using a thermometer.
  5. Fry the Salmon: Fry the salmon bites in batches to avoid overcrowding for 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the crispy salmon bites or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spiciness of the bang bang sauce by varying the amount of sriracha.
  • Ensure the salmon pieces are evenly dried for a crisp coating.
  • Vegetable oil is ideal for frying due to its high smoke point; other neutral oils can also be used.
  • Serve immediately after frying to maintain crispiness.
  • This recipe works well as an appetizer or a fun party snack.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated but will lose their crisp texture upon reheating.
