Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites Bowls are a flavorful, crunchy dish with crispy salmon coated in a spicy, creamy sauce. Paired with fresh veggies and rice, this meal is perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized cubes

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tbsp cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

1 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice level)

1 tbsp honey

For the Bowls:

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and cornstarch. Season the salmon cubes with salt and pepper, then dip each piece into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are fully coated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated salmon cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  5. While the salmon is baking, prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey in a bowl. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha or chili sauce if desired.
  6. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and toss the crispy salmon bites in the bang bang sauce until fully coated.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the rice between serving bowls and top with shredded cabbage or lettuce, sliced avocado, and crispy salmon bites. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Version: Swap the salmon for crispy tofu or tempeh for a plant-based alternative.
  • Spicy Kick: Add extra sriracha or a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce for a stronger spicy flavor.
  • Rice Alternatives: Use quinoa, cauliflower rice, or couscous for a different grain or low-carb option.
  • Add Veggies: Include roasted vegetables like sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or cucumbers for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Crunchy Topping: Try adding crispy fried onions or crushed peanuts on top for an added crunch.
