Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coating and Binding:
- 2 large eggs
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by preheating oven to 425F (220C) and lining baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transform salmon fillets into uniform bite-sized morsels for consistent cooking.
- Arrange three separate stations: first with flour, second with whisked eggs, third with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Methodically coat each salmon piece by first dusting with flour, then dipping in egg wash, and finally rolling in seasoned panko crumbs.
- Arrange breaded salmon bites on prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are spaced without touching for optimal crispiness.
- Roast in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until exterior turns golden and salmon develops a delicate, flaky texture.
- While salmon bakes, quickly whisk together creamy mayonnaise and fiery sriracha to create a zesty dipping sauce.
- Remove salmon bites from oven and serve immediately alongside spicy-creamy sauce for maximum flavor and temperature enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure salmon pieces are uniform in size for even cooking, preventing some bites from being undercooked or overdone.
- Pat salmon dry before breading to help the coating stick better and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use gluten-free panko if making this recipe for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Experiment with different hot sauces in the dipping sauce to customize heat level and flavor profile.
