Instructions
Creating Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
4. Coat the Salmon: Dredge each piece of salmon in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
7. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: While the salmon is baking, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha to your desired spice level.
8. Serve: Once the salmon bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
9. Garnish: Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
