Crispy Juicy Bang Bang Salmon Bites: A Sweet and Spicy Delight

Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2. Coat the Salmon:

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, place the beaten egg.
In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of salmon first into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Then dip it into the beaten egg, followed by the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the salmon to ensure a good coating.
3. Make the Bang Bang Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and rice vinegar until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
4. Fry the Salmon Bites:

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon bites to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry the salmon bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them carefully.
5. Toss in the Bang Bang Sauce:

Once the salmon bites are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a large bowl, toss the crispy salmon bites gently with the prepared bang bang sauce until they are evenly coated.
6. Serve and Garnish:

Serve the Bang Bang Salmon Bites immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
