Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bites

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup breadcrumbs

Bang Bang Sauce

1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon Bites: Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces approximately 1-inch in size.
Coat the Salmon: Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each salmon piece with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.
Cook the Salmon: Choose your cooking method:
- For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated salmon bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- For frying, heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the salmon bites in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce until smooth and well combined.
Toss with Sauce: Place the cooked salmon bites in a large bowl and drizzle the bang bang sauce over them. Toss gently to evenly coat each piece in the sauce.
Serve: Serve immediately while warm as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

You can use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
If baking, use a wire rack on the baking sheet for crispier results.
Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safety.
This recipe can be paired with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
