Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites

Directions

  1. Prep the Salmon

    • Pat salmon cubes dry with paper towels.

    • In a bowl, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne until evenly coated.

  2. Make the Bang Bang Sauce

    • Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.

    • Adjust seasoning: more sriracha for spice or honey for sweetness. Set aside.

  3. Sear the Salmon

    • Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high with a drizzle of oil.

    • Working in batches, lay salmon bites in a single layer.

    • Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy outside, tender inside.

    • Transfer to paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.

  4. Coat and Serve

    • Drizzle: Arrange bites on a platter, then spoon sauce over top.

    • Toss: Place bites in a bowl, pour sauce over, and gently toss to coat.

    • Garnish with parsley, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.


Serving Suggestions & Tips

  • Accompaniments: Serve alongside steamed jasmine rice, crisp salad greens, or in lettuce wraps.

  • Make‑Ahead: Prepare sauce up to 2 days before; gently reheat salmon bites in a warm oven to maintain crispness.

  • Protein Swap: Try the same technique with tofu or chicken cubes for variety.

Enjoy these Bang Bang Salmon Bites as a standout appetizer or a satisfying main—either way, they’re destined to become a new favorite in your recipe repertoire.
