Description
Crispy and flavorful Bang Bang Salmon Bites coated in a creamy, spicy sauce. This easy recipe is perfect for an appetizer or a light meal.
Ingredients
- 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)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Green onions, sliced (optional)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
- In a bowl, drizzle the salmon pieces with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust for heat and sweetness.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil.
- Place the salmon pieces in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy outside, and tender inside.
- Transfer cooked salmon bites to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Drizzle the sauce over the salmon bites or toss them in a bowl with the sauce.
- Garnish with parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy salmon bites, ensure the salmon is patted very dry before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce in the Bang Bang sauce to control the spice level.
- These Bang Bang Salmon Bites are best served immediately after cooking and saucing.
