Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) fresh, skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Breading Spices:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Transform salmon fillet into uniform, bite-sized cubes, ensuring each piece is thoroughly dried with paper towels to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Prepare three separate shallow dishes: first with flour, second with whisked eggs, and third with seasoned panko breadcrumbs incorporating garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Meticulously coat each salmon cube first in flour, creating a thin, even layer, then immerse in beaten eggs, and finally roll thoroughly in the seasoned panko mixture to ensure complete coverage.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet to approximately 350°F, maintaining a consistent medium temperature for even cooking.
- Carefully place breaded salmon pieces into hot oil, frying in small batches to prevent overcrowding, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden, crisp exterior.
- Craft the signature bang bang sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and fresh lime juice until smooth and well-integrated.
- Transfer crispy salmon bites to a serving plate and generously drizzle with the vibrant bang bang sauce, ensuring each piece is lavishly coated for maximum flavor impact.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is thoroughly dried to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent oil splattering during frying.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F to guarantee evenly cooked, golden-brown salmon bites without burning.
- Adjust spice levels in bang bang sauce by increasing or decreasing sriracha to suit personal heat preferences.
