Creating these delicious Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. Season them with salt and pepper.

2. Set Up the Dredging Station: Set up three bowls. Place flour in the first bowl, whisk eggs in the second bowl, and combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

3. Dredge the Salmon: Dip each salmon piece first into the flour, coating it evenly. Shake off excess flour, then dip into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

5. Fry the Bites: Place the coated salmon bites in the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the salmon bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

7. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
