Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Bites

1 lb salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Rice and Vegetables

2 cups cooked rice
1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers and carrots), chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the salmon bites.
Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and evenly blended.
Coat Salmon: Toss the bite-sized salmon pieces in the sauce mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated for maximum flavor.
Bread Salmon: Roll the sauced salmon pieces in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well and create a crispy exterior.
Bake Salmon Bites: Place the breaded salmon pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Sauté Vegetables: While the salmon bakes, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until they are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble Bowls: Serve the crispy bang bang salmon bites over warm cooked rice, then top with the sautéed mixed vegetables for a colorful, tasty meal.

Notes

For best results, use fresh salmon fillets with firm flesh.
Adjust the sriracha amount based on your preferred spice level.
Panko breadcrumbs provide a light and crispy texture, but crushed cornflakes can be an alternative.
Use any vegetables you like or have on hand; broccoli, snap peas, or zucchini are great options.
Serve immediately to enjoy the salmon bites while crispy.
