Ingredients

Salmon Bites

1 lb salmon cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Bang Bang Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

Preparation

Cut the salmon into even, bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each salmon piece in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon bites and cook until golden and crispy on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serving

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Serve the sauce alongside the salmon bites.
Arrange the salmon bites on a platter with the bang bang sauce. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Storage

Place any leftover salmon bites in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to retain crispiness.
