Gather these simple ingredients, and you’ll be on your way to a satisfying meal that echoes those late-night kitchen adventures with dad, minus the wobbly chair.
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is your stage where the magic happens, just like when my mom would turn a simple can of tomatoes into a feast.
- In a bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This is where the crispy magic begins.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish and the beaten eggs in another. Arrange them in a line to create a neat assembly station. Efficiency is key—you know how it is when the kids are hovering, asking, “Is it ready yet?”
- Coat each salmon piece in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each piece is well-coated for that perfect crunch.
- Place the coated salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the salmon is baking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl to create the irresistible bang bang sauce.
- Once the salmon bites are done, toss them in the sauce until they’re well-coated. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
