Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Set Up Your Breading Station: Arrange three bowls—one for all-purpose flour, another for beaten eggs, and the third for panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Bread the Salmon: Coat each salmon piece in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and roll in the panko mixture until fully covered.
- Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat about one inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
- Fry the Salmon Bites: Fry the salmon bites for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Stir until smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the crispy bites and serve immediately.
Notes
Make the Bang Bang sauce ahead of time to save prep time. The salmon bites can be prepped a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge until frying.
