Ingredients
– 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
Preparing Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
2. Set Up Dredging Stations: In one bowl, place the flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until combined. In the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge the Salmon: Take each piece of salmon and coat it in flour first, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry the Bites: Carefully add the salmon bites to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain the Bites: Once cooked, transfer the salmon bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
8. Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter and drizzle or serve alongside the Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
