Ingredients
Scale
1 lb fresh salmon (skinless and cut into bite-sized cubes)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp olive oil or spray for crisping
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
1 tsp honey (optional)
Juice of ½ lime
2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice)
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 avocado (sliced)
½ cup shredded carrots
2 green onions (sliced)
Fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss salmon cubes with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Gently press each salmon piece into the panko breadcrumbs until well-coated. Spray lightly with olive oil.
For the oven: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until golden and crispy.
For the air fryer: Cook in batches at 390°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway for even crisping.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth.
Start with a base of rice. Add cabbage, avocado, carrots, and salmon bites. Drizzle generously with Bang Bang sauce and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
Notes
Adjust the sriracha in the Bang Bang sauce for desired spice level.
