Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds skinless and boneless salmon fillet, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha, adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the salmon fillet into roughly 1 inch cubes.
- In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
- Add the salmon cubes to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C.
- Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
- Add the cooked salmon bites to the bowl with the Bang Bang sauce and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the Bang Bang Salmon Bites to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crunch, dust with more cornstarch and sear again for 30 seconds. Keep garnishes fresh by adding just before serving.
