  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Cut the salmon fillet into roughly 1 inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.
  4. Add the salmon cubes to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
  8. Taste the sauce and adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired level of spiciness.
  9. Add the cooked salmon bites to the bowl with the Bang Bang sauce and toss gently to coat evenly.
  10. Transfer the Bang Bang Salmon Bites to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, dust with more cornstarch and sear again for 30 seconds. Keep garnishes fresh by adding just before serving.
