Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Salmon Bites:
  • 1½ lbs salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • For the Bang Bang Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Chopped parsley or cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon dry and cut into bite-sized cubes. Toss with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Sear salmon cubes in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Add the Sauce: Drizzle the sauce over the salmon or toss gently to coat completely.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with green onions, sesame seeds, or fresh herbs. Serve hot as an appetizer or over jasmine rice for a full meal.

Notes

Serve over jasmine or basmati rice, in tacos with slaw, or in a salmon bowl with veggies and avocado. Try cucumber salad or roasted vegetables on the side for a fresh contrast. Adjust sriracha to control heat level.
