  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the salmon bites.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

Cut the fresh salmon into bite-sized pieces. Make sure the pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 3: Make the Bang Bang Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until well combined. Adjust the Sriracha to taste for desired spice level.

Step 4: Coat the Salmon

Place the cut salmon pieces in the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently until each piece is thoroughly coated with the bang bang sauce.

Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the coated salmon bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6: Bake the Salmon Bites

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra bang bang sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Preparing the Salmon

To achieve tender and flavorful salmon bites, start with fresh salmon fillets. Remove the skin and any bones, then cut the fillet into bite-sized pieces. This ensures uniform cooking and a pleasant texture.

Coating the Salmon

For a crispy texture, coat the salmon bites in a mixture of breadcrumbs and spices. A light dusting helps create a crunchy exterior while keeping the inside moist.

Frying the Salmon

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated salmon bites to the hot oil, allowing them to fry until golden brown on each side. This method locks in flavor and gives the bites a delightful crunch.

Making the Sauce

Combine ingredients such as mayonnaise, sriracha, and other seasonings to create the bang bang sauce. Adjust the spicy level according to your preference for an explosion of flavor.

Serving the Salmon Bites

Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter, drizzle with the bang bang sauce, and garnish as desired. Serving them warm maximizes flavor and texture.
