Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb fresh salmon (skinless and cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or spray for crisping

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lime

Serving

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • ½ cup shredded carrot

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon bites: In a bowl, season the salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Coat the salmon: Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each seasoned salmon cube in the panko, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs fully.
  3. Cook the salmon bites: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated salmon bites in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and salmon is just cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Make the bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey (if using), and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
  5. Toss salmon in sauce: Gently toss the cooked salmon bites in the bang bang sauce to coat evenly.
  6. Assemble the dish: Divide the cooked jasmine rice between plates. Top with shredded purple cabbage, sliced avocado, and shredded carrot. Spoon the bang bang salmon bites on top.
  7. Serve: Optionally garnish with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • To keep bites crispier, toss salmon in sauce just before serving.
  • Use cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative to jasmine rice.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control heat level.
  • Can bake salmon bites at 400°F for 15 minutes as a healthier option.
