Description
Bang Bang Salmon Bites are crispy, flavorful bites of salmon coated in a crunchy panko crust and served with a spicy bang bang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, place the flour. In a third bowl, add the beaten eggs.
- Coat each piece of salmon first in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the panko mixture. Place the coated salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the bang bang sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Once the salmon bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve with the bang bang sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For extra crunch, try adding some crushed nuts to the panko mixture.
- For a healthier option, you can air-fry the salmon bites instead of baking them. Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer’s instructions.
