Bake salmon pieces until crispy and coat them in a creamy, spicy Bang Bang sauce for a quick appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each salmon cube first into the beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
  4. Place the coated salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the coating is lightly golden and crisp.
  6. While the salmon bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
  7. Remove the baked salmon bites from the oven.
  8. In a clean bowl, gently toss the hot salmon bites with about half of the Bang Bang sauce until coated. Add more sauce if desired.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can spray the coated salmon lightly with cooking spray before baking.
  • You can make the sauce up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of sriracha in the sauce.
