How to Store Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites

Tips to Make Crispy Bang Bang Salmon Bites

• Make sure the oil is hot before frying. This helps the salmon bites become crispy.
• Use a thermometer to check oil temperature if you can. It should be around 350°F (175°C).
• Adjust the ingredients in the Bang Bang Sauce according to your taste. Add more sriracha for more heat or honey for extra sweetness.

Variations

Try adding different spices to the panko mixture for a unique twist. You could also use other types of fish if you prefer.

FAQs

1. Can I bake the salmon bites instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the salmon bites on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.

2. How can I make the Bang Bang Sauce milder?
You can reduce the amount of sriracha in the sauce. You can also add more mayonnaise to tone down the heat.

3. Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
Yes, you can. Just make sure to thaw the salmon completely and pat it dry before cutting and coating it.
