  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g fresh salmon, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1½ tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix cornflour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Toss salmon cubes in the flour mixture until fully coated; shake off excess flour.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Place salmon cubes in the pan in a single layer; cook 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if needed.
  6. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice to make the bang bang sauce.
  7. Transfer cooked salmon to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  8. Gently toss salmon cubes in the bang bang sauce until evenly coated.
  9. Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or a fresh salad, or as a standalone appetizer.

Notes

Ensure salmon is dry before coating for maximum crispiness.

Adjust the spiciness of the sauce according to taste.

For extra crispiness, double-coat the salmon by dipping it back in the flour mixture.

Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to two days.
