Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Bowls
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Salmon Bites

  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillet, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning or Creole seasoning
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh is best)
  • cooked rice (Jasmine or Basmati)
  • sliced green onions
  • red chili pepper (like a Fresno chili, thinly sliced)
  • sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Preparation and Cooking

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels. Cut it into uniform 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon cubes and toss gently until each piece is lightly coated.
  • Sprinkle the cornstarch and Cajun seasoning directly over the oiled salmon. Toss again until the salmon is evenly and thoroughly coated.
  • Arrange the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure there is space between each piece to allow them to crisp up.
  • Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes. Switch the oven to a high broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes. The salmon is ready when the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
  • Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the hot bites to a clean bowl. Pour ½ of the Bang Bang sauce over the top and toss gently to coat.
  • To serve, scoop the cooked rice into bowls. Top with salmon bites. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh red chili slices, sesame seeds, and drizzles of more Bang Bang sauce.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce. Make sure to use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. These bites work great as an appetizer or a main dish.
