Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and boneless

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 large egg

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 green onions, finely sliced, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, place the cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk the egg until beaten. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

      Coat the Salmon: First, dip each salmon cube into the cornstarch, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the salmon in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat until all pieces are coated.

        Fry the Salmon Bites: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon bites in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

          Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed and smooth.

            Serve: Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the crispy salmon bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra crunch.

              Enjoy your crispy bang bang salmon bites as a delicious appetizer or snack!
