• Cornstarch or panko breadcrumbs for coating
• Olive oil or avocado oil for crisping

How to Make Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites Step by Step

1. Prep the Salmon (5 minutes)

Cut salmon into uniform cubes. Pat dry with paper towels for ultimate crispiness.

2. Coat for Crunch (3 minutes)

Toss the cubes in cornstarch or breadcrumbs. Season with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

3. Cook to Golden Perfection (8–10 minutes)

Pan-fry or air-fry until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan — you want space for the salmon to crisp evenly.

4. Make the Bang Bang Sauce (2 minutes)

In a bowl, whisk together:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp lime juice

5. Toss and Serve (2 minutes)

Coat the crispy salmon bites in the sauce and serve warm!
