Preparation
  1. Begin by cutting fresh salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the last.
  3. Coat each salmon cube in flour, dip in egg, and then coat in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
  1. Heat about half an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, approximately 350°F.
  2. Carefully place the coated salmon bites in the hot oil, frying each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Prepare the Bang Bang sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  4. Once fried, transfer salmon bites to a paper towel-lined plate and serve drizzled with Bang Bang sauce.
