Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and diced into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 large egg

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil, for frying

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to ensure the salmon is well-coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

    Set Up the Breading Station: In three shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in the last.

      Bread the Salmon Bites: Take each marinated salmon piece, coat it lightly in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until well-coated. Repeat for all salmon pieces.

        Fry the Bites: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat (about 1/2 inch deep). Once hot, carefully add salmon bites, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

            Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter, drizzled with Bang Bang sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Enjoy your sweet and spicy crispy bites!
