Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed Opt for fresh, high-quality fillets.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour For coating the salmon.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For a crunchy texture.
- 1 large egg Beaten, for breading.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise For the Bang Bang sauce.
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce Adjust for spice preference.
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- to taste fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each salmon bite into the flour mixture, coating it lightly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
- Place the breaded salmon bites onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat until all pieces are breaded.
Cooking
- Bake the salmon bites for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Check for doneness by ensuring the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
Sauce Preparation
- While the salmon bites bake, prepare the Bang Bang sauce by mixing together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a medium bowl until well combined.
Serving
- Once the salmon bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the salmon bites drizzled or dipped in the Bang Bang sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes
For best results, use fresh salmon and let the breading adhere to the egg wash before coating with panko. Adjust spice levels in the sauce to your preference.
