Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to spice level)
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- Juice of ½ lime
- 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to the same temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the salmon cubes in this mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Spread out the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each piece of seasoned salmon in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.
- For the oven, place the coated salmon bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly drizzled with olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. For the air fryer, place them in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey (if using) until smooth. Add lime juice to brighten the flavors.
- Serve the crispy salmon bites over a bed of jasmine rice or cauliflower rice and top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, carrots, green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
