Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Bowls

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coatings: Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs. These will be used to coat the salmon cubes thoroughly.
  2. Coat Salmon Cubes: Take each salmon cube and first dredge it in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the panko breadcrumbs. Arrange the coated salmon cubes on a plate and set aside to prepare for frying.
  3. Fry Salmon Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Carefully add the salmon cubes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the salmon bites and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and honey until smooth and well combined. This creates a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce that complements the salmon bites perfectly.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and the fried salmon bites.
  6. Drizzle Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the prepared bang bang sauce generously over each bowl. Finish by garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and bold flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, you can bake the coated salmon bites at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the sauce to control the spiciness according to your taste.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and freshness in the bowls.
  • Ensure the oil is properly heated before frying to get a crispy coating and avoid soggy salmon bites.
  • Leftover salmon bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in an oven for best texture.
