Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites (Recipe for Printing)

Crispy golden salmon cubes coated in a sweet, spicy Bang Bang sauce for a perfect savory treat.

# What You Need:

→ Salmon Bites

01 - 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized cubes
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
05 - 2 large eggs, beaten
06 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
07 - Vegetable oil, for frying

→ Bang Bang Sauce

08 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
09 - 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
10 - 1 tablespoon sriracha
11 - 1 teaspoon honey
12 - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

→ Optional Garnishes

13 - Sliced green onions
14 - Toasted sesame seeds

# How to Make It:

01 - Cut the salmon fillet into uniform bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - Arrange flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
03 - Season the salmon cubes evenly with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
04 - For frying: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry salmon for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. For air frying: Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange coated salmon pieces in a single layer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.
06 - Toss the cooked salmon bites lightly in the Bang Bang sauce or provide the sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For a balanced meal, serve salmon bites over steamed rice and fresh avocado; air frying reduces oil for a lighter option.
