Sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon into 1-1.5-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.

  • Set Up Breading Station: Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Bread the Salmon: Coat each salmon cube in flour, dip it in eggs, and coat with the panko mixture. Set aside.

  • Heat the Oil: Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Test the oil with a small piece of bread for readiness.

  • Fry the Salmon Bites: Fry each side of the salmon bites for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  • Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.

  • Serve: Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the salmon bites and garnish with parsley or green onions.

    • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 5-10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispiness.

    • Substitutions: Use shrimp, cod, or chicken breast in place of salmon. For a lighter option, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes instead of frying.
