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, about 1 inch depth)

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 Cubes: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well during frying.
  2. Set up Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed together with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for flavorful crusting.
  3. Coat the Salmon: Dredge each salmon cube first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally roll thoroughly in the seasoned panko mixture. Place them aside on a tray.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil about 1 inch deep into a skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering and hot enough to fry, roughly 350°F (175°C) if using a thermometer.
  5. Fry the Salmon Bites: Carefully add salmon bites in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, turning gently, until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the salmon is cooked through.
  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: Drain the salmon bites on paper towels, then immediately drizzle with or serve alongside the Bang Bang sauce. Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Drying the salmon properly before breading is key to ensuring the coating adheres well.
  • Adjust the sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce to fit your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Maintain oil temperature to avoid greasy bites; too low will absorb oil, too high will burn coating before salmon cooks.
  • This recipe can be doubled for parties or gatherings.
  • Leftover bites can be reheated in a toaster oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
