Ingredients
Scale
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
Sautéed Vegetables
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers and carrots)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Base
- 2 cups cooked rice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon bites to a crispy golden finish.
- Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to create the spicy bang bang sauce that will coat the salmon pieces.
- Coat Salmon: Toss the bite-sized salmon pieces in the sauce mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Bread the Salmon: Roll each sauced salmon piece in the panko breadcrumbs to give them a crispy texture once baked.
- Bake Salmon Bites: Arrange the coated salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables: While the salmon is baking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the mixed vegetables until they become tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble Bowls: To serve, place cooked rice as the base in each bowl, top with the baked bang bang salmon bites, then add the sautéed mixed vegetables on top or on the side for a complete and balanced meal.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Panko breadcrumbs give a light, crispy coating—regular breadcrumbs can be substituted but will be less crispy.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Mixed vegetables can be varied based on seasonality or preference, such as adding snap peas or zucchini.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the salmon bites crispy and fresh.
