2 large eggs
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
09 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
03 -
Coat each salmon piece in the flour mixture, dip in the eggs, and roll in the panko breadcrumbs. Ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the salmon bites in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
05 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust sriracha for desired heat.
06 -
Arrange the fried salmon bites on a platter, drizzle with Bang Bang sauce or serve on the side, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
