Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)

For the Bang Bang sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to spice preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Pinch of salt

Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes (approximately 1-inch pieces) and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the salmon pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

    Set up the breading station: Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate bowls.

      Bread the salmon bites: Dip each salmon piece first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well coated for maximum crispiness.

        Fry the salmon: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle), carefully add the salmon bites in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

          Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

            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 green onions and sesame seeds.

              Enjoy your crispy, sweet, and spicy Bang Bang Salmon Bites!
