Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillets, skinless and boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg, beaten

Vegetable oil, for frying

Bang Bang Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

1 green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: In a bowl, season the salmon pieces with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

    Set up Breading Station: In one shallow dish, add the flour. In a second shallow dish, pour the beaten egg. In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

      Bread the Salmon Bites: Dredge each salmon piece in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat in the panko mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.

        Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F/175°C).

          Fry the Salmon Bites: Working in batches, carefully place the breaded salmon pieces in the oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

            Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Adjust the spiciness according to your preference.

              Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter, drizzle with Bang Bang sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds for garnish.
