Ingredients
  

For the salmon bites

  • 1 lb fresh skinless salmon fillets Preferably wild-caught for better flavor and healthy fats.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Helps create a tasty base for the breading.
  • 2 large eggs, beaten Key for binding the panko to the salmon bites.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For that irresistible crunch; gluten-free option available.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Adds a delicious savory depth.
  • 1 tsp onion powder Complements the garlic flavor.
  • 1 tsp paprika Adds warmth and color.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Adjust to your taste.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper Add more for a kick.
  • Vegetable oil (for frying) Can use avocado oil for a healthier option.

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Creamy base for the sauce.
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce Adds sweetness to balance flavors.
  • 1 tbsp sriracha Adjust to your desired spice level.
  • 1 tbsp honey Adds extra sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp lime juice Brightens the sauce with tartness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut salmon into 1-inch cubes and pat dry.
  • Create a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for eggs, and one for panko mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Coating

  • Coat each salmon piece in flour, dip in egg, and roll in panko.

Frying

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Fry the salmon bites until golden brown (2-3 minutes per side) and drain on paper towels.

Making the Sauce

  • Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Serving

  • Drizzle the sauce over the crispy salmon bites or toss in a bowl for mixing.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat drying the salmon is crucial for crispiness. Make-ahead and freeze for easy future meals. Reheat in the oven to avoid sogginess.
