• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon sriracha

Cooking Experience

As you set out to make Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites, you’ll immediately be greeted by the fresh smell of salmon. It’s soft and slightly glistening, promising a tender bite. The sound of breadcrumbs tumbling into a bowl fills the air as you prepare the station. Flour looks like fresh snow on a cold morning, while the eggs glisten, ready to embrace the salmon pieces.

Cooking these bites is truly a sensory experience. The warmth of the oil crackles invitingly as you lower the salmon bites in, turning them into golden nuggets of joy. Moments later, they emerge, crisp and beautifully browned. The kitchen fills with the earthy aroma of garlic mingling with the ocean essence of the salmon, making everyone eager for a taste. The vibrant color is simply irresistible, each bite promising a wonderful mix of crunch and tenderness.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
2. Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
3. Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper.
4. Dredge each piece of salmon in flour, dip into the egg, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
5. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the salmon bites until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. For the sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder in a bowl.
7. Serve the crispy salmon bites with the spicy-sweet sauce.

Tips & Substitutions

• If you enjoy a different flavor, try adding some grated parmesan to the panko breadcrumbs for an extra savory punch.
• You can swap the salmon for another fish like cod or haddock if you prefer.
• For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute it with a dash of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
• Frying can be messy; use a splatter guard to keep the counters tidy.
• If you want to bake instead of fry, place the coated salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray with cooking oil before baking for about 15 minutes until golden.
• Make sure the oil is hot before frying for the best crispy results.

Storage & Make Ahead

To keep your Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to three days. To reheat, simply place them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, allowing the exterior to regain its crispy texture.

For meal prep, you can bread the salmon bites ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for a couple of hours before frying. Just remember that the longer they sit, the more moisture they can absorb. Pre-mixing the sauce can also save time; simply store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. This way, you can enjoy a quick and delightful dish any night of the week.
