Ingredients

For the Salmon Bites:

1.5 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

For Garnish:

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

2 green onions, thinly sliced

For Special Equipment:

Large baking sheet

Wire cooling rack

Three shallow bowls for breading

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then place a wire rack on top.

Pat salmon cubes completely dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Set up breading station with three shallow bowls: flour mixed with garlic powder and paprika in first bowl, beaten eggs in second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in third bowl.

Dredge each salmon cube in flour mixture, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Place breaded salmon bites on the wire rack, ensuring they don't touch each other for maximum crispiness.

Spray tops lightly with cooking oil and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and salmon flakes easily.

While salmon bakes, whisk together all bang bang sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.

Remove salmon from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then drizzle generously with bang bang sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving immediately.
