A detailed recipe for Sweet and Spicy Crispy Salmon, featuring salmon nuggets coated in a crispy batter and tossed in a flavorful sweet and spicy glaze.
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water for thickening, optional
Instructions
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss salmon chunks in the mixture until well coated.
Heat 2–3 tbsp of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle boil. If a thicker glaze is desired, stir in cornstarch + water, and cook until thickened.
Add the crispy salmon pieces into the glaze and toss gently to coat.
Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime. Serve as an appetizer, or over rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For extra heat, add more sriracha to the glaze.
This recipe can be served as an appetizer or main dish.
Feel free to customize the garnish based on preference.
