Ingredients
• 1 lb salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are all uniform in size for even cooking. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Coat the Salmon: Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl or plate. Gently toss the salmon cubes in the cornstarch, making sure to coat all sides evenly. This will help create the perfect crispy exterior.
- Fry the Salmon: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the cornstarch-coated salmon cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature and prevent the salmon from steaming instead of searing.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha sauce, and lime juice until well combined. This sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce is the perfect complement to the crispy salmon bites.
- Toss and Serve: Gently transfer the fried salmon bites to a large bowl. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the salmon and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (if using) for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
