1 lb salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on heat preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Spicy Sauce:
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon soy sauce
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and water together.
Dip each piece of salmon into the egg wash and coat thoroughly with the seasoned flour mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the salmon bites in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
While frying, prepare the spicy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Once the salmon bites are cooked, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Toss the crispy salmon bites in the spicy sauce until well-coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
