Creating these Homemade Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites is a straightforward process when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Dice the fresh salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces.
2. Set Up the Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Bread the Salmon: Dip each salmon piece first into the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, immerse it in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½-inch of oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5. Fry the Bites: Carefully add the breaded salmon bites to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until fully cooked and crispy.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the salmon bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve Fresh: Serve the crispy salmon bites hot alongside the bang bang sauce for dipping.

By following these easy steps, you’ll create a dish that not only looks appetizing but also tastes divine.
