Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces Use the freshest salmon available
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Panko provides better crunch than regular breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha Adjust according to your spice preference
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup For sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes, and place them in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, tossing to ensure each piece is coated evenly.
- In a separate bowl, add panko breadcrumbs. Dip each seasoned salmon piece into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cooking
- For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated salmon pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- For frying, heat oil in a skillet and fry the bites for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through.
Sauce Preparation
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and honey. Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
Serving
- Drizzle the spicy mayo over the cooked salmon bites and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm!
