The Best Quick Bang Bang Salmon Bites Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
