Ingredients

Scale

Creating these bites requires just a handful of ingredients, many of which you might already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound of fresh salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions for garnish

If you’re looking to make a healthier version, you can substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour, or use almond flour for a gluten-free option. The panko breadcrumbs give these bites their crispy texture, but you can use crushed cornflakes if that’s what you have on hand.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each salmon cube into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  4. Arrange the salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
  6. While the salmon is baking, prepare the Bang Bang sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl.
  7. Once the salmon bites are done, drizzle them with the Bang Bang sauce and garnish with chopped green onions.

From my experience, ensuring the salmon bites are evenly coated with breadcrumbs is key to achieving that perfect crunch. The cooking spray is a little trick I picked up from my grandmother to make oven-baked dishes mimic the texture of fried foods.
