Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) fresh salmon fillets (skinless)
Coating and Breading:
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400F (200C).
- Transform salmon fillets into uniform bite-sized morsels, approximately one-inch thick.
- Create a three-stage coating station: seasoned flour, whisked eggs, and crispy panko breadcrumbs.
- Meticulously dredge each salmon piece through the flour, ensuring complete coverage.
- Submerge the floured salmon into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the egg-coated salmon in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to secure a complete, even crust.
- Arrange the breaded salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining space between each piece.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the exterior achieves a golden, crispy texture.
- While salmon bakes, whisk together Sriracha, mayonnaise, and honey to create a vibrant, tangy sauce.
- Taste and adjust the sauce’s seasoning for optimal flavor balance.
- Once salmon bites are cooked, transfer to a serving plate and generously drizzle with the spicy-sweet sauce.
- Serve immediately to maintain maximum crispiness and temperature.
Notes
- Always use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best texture and flavor in your crispy bites.
- Pat salmon pieces dry with paper towels before coating to help breading stick perfectly and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Space salmon bites slightly apart on baking sheet to ensure even browning and prevent steaming.
- Customize sauce heat level by adjusting Sriracha quantity to suit personal spice preferences.
