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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce until smooth and well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
