Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and diced into bite-sized pieces
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
⅓ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
1 teaspoon lime juice
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels to ensure they’re moisture-free for crispiness.
    Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, spread the panko breadcrumbs.
      Coat the Salmon: Take a piece of salmon, dip it into the seasoned flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it well with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat for all salmon pieces.
        Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers (around 350°F or 175°C).
          Fry the Salmon Bites: Carefully place several salmon bites in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
            Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
              Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter and drizzle or serve with the Bang Bang sauce on the side.
                - Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finishing touch.
