Ingredients

Scale

1 lb fresh salmon fillets
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice level)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch).
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of salmon in flour, shake off excess, then dip in egg wash, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry salmon bites in batches until golden brown on all sides (3-4 minutes per side).
For the bang bang sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
Serve immediately with green onions sprinkled on top and a drizzle of bang bang sauce.

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate the salmon in lemon juice or spices for at least 30 minutes before breading. If desired, swap panko breadcrumbs for regular breadcrumbs or add spices like paprika to enhance the flavor profile. Leftover salmon bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat in an oven at 350°F until crispy.
