Crunchy panko-crusted salmon bites served with a creamy, sweet-spicy bang bang sauce for a quick and satisfying meal.

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 a neutral 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 for low carb)
  • 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 the oven to 425°F or air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment.
  2. Season the salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Put panko in a shallow dish and press each seasoned salmon cube into the panko to create a crust. Drizzle or spray lightly with olive oil.
  4. Arrange the panko-crusted cubes in a single layer and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or air-fry for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice to make the bang bang sauce.
  6. Divide the rice between bowls, top with shredded cabbage, carrots, avocado slices, and salmon bites. Drizzle sauce over and finish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free panko. Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
