Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon:
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Spicy Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, toss the salmon pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to ensure even coating and seasoning.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon bites and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the salmon is cooked through and has a crispy, golden crust. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix the Spicy Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Stir well until smooth and well blended.
- Serve: Arrange the crispy salmon bites on a serving platter and drizzle the spicy sauce over them or place the sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon fillets for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cayenne pepper and sriracha quantities based on your spice preference.
- For an extra crispy texture, cook the salmon in a well-heated skillet without overcrowding the pan.
- This dish can be served as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
- Leftover sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
