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 for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for crisp cooking.
  2. Season the Salmon: In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until each piece is evenly coated with the spices, enhancing flavor.
  3. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Gently press each salmon cube into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure they’re well-coated for a crispy exterior. Lightly spray or brush with olive oil to promote golden browning.
  4. Bake or Air-Fry: For oven method, arrange salmon pieces on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden and crispy. For air fryer, cook in batches at 390°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway to crisp all sides evenly.
  5. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and honey (if using), until the sauce is creamy and smooth with a balanced sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Begin with a base of cooked jasmine rice or cauliflower rice. Layer on shredded cabbage, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and crispy salmon bites. Drizzle generously with bang bang sauce and garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for a flavorful, colorful finish.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha in the sauce to control spiciness.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb or gluten-free alternative.
  • Ensure the salmon pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, use an air fryer.
  • Mayonnaise in the sauce can be substituted with vegan mayo for a vegan-friendly option.
