The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—fresh, high-quality salmon and a crisp coating that holds up to the bold bang bang sauce. When I shop for salmon, I always look for firm, bright fillets with a fresh ocean scent. It’s worth spending a bit more here because the flavor really shines through. For the coating, I prefer panko breadcrumbs for that extra crunch, but you can use crushed cornflakes or even gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed. The sauce brings everything together with a mix of creamy mayo, sweet chili sauce, and a touch of heat from sriracha.

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or crushed cornflakes for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour works too)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This helps the coating stick and adds subtle flavor.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each salmon bite first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko. Press gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (around 350°F).
  5. Fry the salmon bites in batches to avoid overcrowding, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Meanwhile, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl to create your bang bang sauce. Adjust the sriracha amount depending on your preferred spice level.
  7. Once all the bites are cooked, toss them gently in the sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if you like, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
