Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Salmon Fillets: Fresh, skinless fillets work best; look for bright orange flesh with no dark spots.
Panko Bread Crumbs: For that perfect crunch, choose plain panko; they toast beautifully.
Mayonnaise: A creamy base for the sauce; opt for Japanese mayonnaise for extra flavor.
Sriracha Sauce: Adds heat and tang; adjust based on your spice preference.
Honey: Balances the spice perfectly; use raw honey if possible for depth.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is ideal; it brightens up all those flavors beautifully.
Garlic Powder: For added flavor; fresh garlic can be used but may alter texture.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings to enhance the overall taste of your dish.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Salmon Bites: Start by cutting your salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniformity so they cook evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Create the Coating Station: Set up three bowls: one with flour for dredging, another with beaten eggs, and third filled with panko crumbs mixed with garlic powder. This coating process adds layers of flavor and texture.

Dredge Each Bite Thoroughly: Dip each salmon piece first in flour to get it nice and coated. Shake off excess flour before moving on to the egg wash, then coat generously with panko crumbs.

Fry Until Golden Brown: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add your salmon bites in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy on each side—about 3-4 minutes per side.

Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning or heat according to your preference.

Sauce It Up!: Once your salmon bites are cooked and crispy, remove them from the pan and toss them gently in the Bang Bang sauce until fully coated. Serve immediately while still warm for optimal crunch!

Enjoy these crispy delights as an appetizer during game night or maybe even as a fun dinner option when you want something a little different!
