Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon Bites:
- 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
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- Juice of ½ lime
For the Bowls:
- 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 or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the salmon bites.
- Season the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the spices.
- Coat in Breadcrumbs: Gently press each seasoned salmon cube into the panko breadcrumbs until well-coated. Lightly spray or brush them with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake or Air-Fry: For the oven, place the coated salmon bites on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden and crispy. For the air fryer, cook the bites in batches at 390°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked jasmine rice in each bowl. Add shredded purple cabbage, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and top with the crispy salmon bites. Drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce and garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for a vibrant finish.
