Ingredients
– 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/2 cup cornstarch
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
– 1 tablespoon sriracha
– 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels.
2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with cornstarch, salt, and pepper; one with beaten eggs; and one with panko breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge each salmon cube in cornstarch, then dip in egg, then coat in panko, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the salmon bites in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar to make the sauce.
7. Toss the cooked salmon bites in the sauce until evenly coated.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free panko. To bake, place on a lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 425°F for 10-12 minutes.
