Ingredients
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
Pat salmon cubes dry with paper towels.
Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat salmon pieces in flour, dip in egg, then press into seasoned panko.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry salmon bites in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice.
Drizzle or toss salmon bites in sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Patting salmon dry helps coating stick better.
Don’t overcrowd the pan to keep bites crispy.
Adjust sriracha for more or less spice.
Best served fresh for maximum crunch.
Air fryer option: cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
