Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Bites:

  • 1 ½ pounds salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for preferred heat level)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Prep the Salmon:

    • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture. Remove the skin and cut the salmon into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
    • Place the salmon pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
    • Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly with the seasoning.

  • Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

    • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
    • Taste and adjust the sauce—add more sriracha for heat or honey for sweetness. Set aside.

  • Cook the Salmon:

    • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
    • Once the oil is hot, add the salmon pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if needed.
    • Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked salmon from the pan and set aside.

  • Toss the Salmon:

    • Place the cooked salmon bites in a large bowl and drizzle with the prepared Bang Bang sauce. Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly in the sauce.

  • Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.
    • Serve immediately as an appetizer or main dish, paired with your favorite side.

Notes

  • For extra crispy salmon, you can lightly dredge the salmon pieces in flour or cornstarch before cooking.
  • If you want a milder sauce, reduce the amount of sriracha or skip it entirely.
  • This dish is also great served over rice or with a fresh salad.
