Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites
Ingredients
1 lb salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Oil for frying
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lime juice
Directions
Start by cutting the salmon fillets into small, bite-sized pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with one dish of flour and another with the beaten egg. Take each salmon piece, coat it lightly in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally roll it in the panko mixture so it’s fully coated. Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon bites in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are a deep golden brown and crispy. While the salmon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a separate bowl to create your Bang Bang sauce. Once the salmon bites are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve them hot, alongside the Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
