Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients and setting up your workspace. Ensure your salmon is cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasonings if needed—taste testing is crucial!
Bread the Salmon: Set up three bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each salmon piece first in flour, then egg, followed by panko.
Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon bites in batches without overcrowding. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy—about 3-4 minutes per side should do it.
Drain Excess Oil: Use paper towels to drain excess oil from cooked salmon bites before serving. This keeps them crispier longer!
Serve hot with your bang bang sauce drizzled generously on top or as a dip on the side—either way, prepare for some serious flavor enjoyment!
