Print Recipe

Crispy panko-coated salmon bites drizzled with a spicy sweet bang bang sauce, perfect for gatherings or quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • Fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Heat oven to 425 F or set air fryer to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the Salmon: In a bowl, toss salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pat dry first if needed.
  3. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Place panko in a shallow dish. Press each salmon cube into panko to coat. Use a light spray of olive oil to help crumbs brown.
  4. Bake or Air-Fry: Arrange bites in a single layer. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or air fry 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey. Taste and adjust.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Layer rice, cabbage, carrots, and avocado. Top with hot salmon bites. Drizzle with sauce and sprinkle cilantro and sesame seeds.

Notes

Serve immediately for best texture. Leftovers can be reheated, but avoid microwaving to keep the panko crispy.
