Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces Fresh salmon is recommended for best texture and flavor.
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs create a light and crispy texture.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2-3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust spice level as desired.
- to taste salt and pepper
- for frying oil Oil for frying
For Garnish
- to taste chopped green onions
- to taste sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Prepare the Salmon
- Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces.
Coat the Salmon
- Set up a breading station with all-purpose flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third. Coat each salmon piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then roll in panko breadcrumbs, pressing to stick.
Fry the Salmon Bites
- Heat enough oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test if it's hot enough by dropping in a small piece of bread; if it sizzles, you're ready.
- Fry the salmon bites in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary.
Drain and Toss
- Remove the salmon bites with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Toss them in the prepared Bang Bang sauce while warm.
Serve
- Arrange the bites on a large platter, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
