Bang Bang Salmon Bites
Delicious crispy salmon bites coated in a crunchy breading and served with a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce. Perfect for family gatherings!
Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (can use gluten-free alternative)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan alternative)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In one bowl, add the flour. In another, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for seasoning.
Coating
- Dip each salmon piece first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, and finally coat it well with the panko mixture.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the coated salmon pieces to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Making the Sauce
- While the salmon bites are frying, mix together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice in a bowl.
Serving
- Once the salmon is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the skillet and allow it to drain on paper towels. Toss the bites in the Bang Bang sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
These bites are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
