Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for preferred heat level)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Place in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional). Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust for desired heat or sweetness.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil. Add the salmon in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter and drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce, or toss them in the sauce in a bowl to coat evenly.
Notes
- For an extra crispy texture, dredge the salmon in flour or breadcrumbs before cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The sauce can be stored separately.
- If you’d like to increase the heat, adjust the sriracha or add chili flakes to the sauce.
- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or skip the breading altogether.
