Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Spicy Salmon Bites
  1. Begin by cutting your fresh salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes, ensuring you remove any skin and bones for a smooth bite. Pat the cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Carefully place the seasoned salmon cubes in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Remove the crispy salmon bites from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with the prepared spicy sauce and garnish as desired.
