Equipment

  • 1 skillet non-stick
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 spatula

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.
