Description
Delicious and crispy bang bang salmon bites coated with flavorful seasonings and served with a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon (skinless and cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or spray for crisping
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- Juice of ½ lime
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice)
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- Fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the salmon cubes until they are well-coated in the seasoning.
- Take the seasoned salmon and coat each piece in panko breadcrumbs.
- Place the breaded salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Lightly spray the salmon bites with olive oil or use an oil spray for crisping.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or air-fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the bang bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
- Once the salmon is done, let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the bowls by placing jasmine rice or cauliflower rice at the bottom, followed by shredded purple cabbage, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions.
- Top everything off with the crispy salmon bites and drizzle generously with the bang bang sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds as desired.
Notes
Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best results. Adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your preference.
