Ingredients
For the salmon bites
- 1 lb salmon fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each piece of salmon in flour, dip into the egg, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- 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.

Serving

Notes
For variations, try adding grated parmesan to the panko breadcrumbs or swap salmon for cod or haddock. Use a splatter guard when frying to minimize mess.
