Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites:
-
1 lb salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
¼ cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
-
1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
-
Prep Coating Stations: Set up three bowls: one with a flour mixture (flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper), one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
-
Coat Salmon: Dip each piece of salmon into the flour mixture, followed by the beaten eggs, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure it’s well-coated.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
-
Fry Salmon Bites: Fry the salmon pieces in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
-
Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and honey until smooth.
-
Serve & Dip: Serve the crispy salmon bites hot, with the Bang Bang sauce drizzled over the top or served on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
-
Serving Suggestion: Serve with steamed rice, a side salad, or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
-
Make It Extra Crispy: If you want an even crunchier texture, double-coat the salmon by dipping the pieces back into the egg and breadcrumbs after the first coating.
-
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce in the Bang Bang sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
