Ingredients
  

Salmon Bites
  • 1 pound salmon fillets fresh, wild-caught or farm-raised
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour substitute with gluten-free flour if needed
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes/gluten-free options
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha adjust for spice preference
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk
  • paper towels

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by cutting fresh salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  2. Prepare three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dip each salmon piece first into the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated, then into the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the panko mixture.
  4. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Fry the salmon bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  6. Arrange your crispy salmon bites on a serving platter, drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onions.
