Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Frying Pan
- Tongs
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 lb fresh salmon cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- oil for frying vegetable or avocado oil
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Place cornstarch in one bowl, whisk the egg in another, and add panko breadcrumbs to a third. Dip each salmon bite into the cornstarch, then egg, then panko, pressing gently to coat well.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the salmon bites in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
- Gently toss the crispy salmon bites in the bang bang sauce or serve it on the side as a dip. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispiness, double-coat the salmon bites by dipping them in egg and panko a second time. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha or red pepper flakes.
