Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a skillet if frying.
Season the salmon cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each salmon piece in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Arrange salmon bites on a lined baking sheet and spray lightly with oil, or shallow-fry until golden and crispy. If baking, flip halfway through and bake for 12–15 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar to make the bang bang sauce.
Once cooked and crispy, toss salmon bites in the sauce or drizzle sauce over before serving.

Notes

Swap salmon with shrimp or tofu for variation.

Add lime juice to the sauce for extra brightness.

Increase sriracha or add red pepper flakes for more heat.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheat in air fryer or oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Keep sauce separate when storing to avoid sogginess.

Can be air fried at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
