Prepare the Salmon:
Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.

Set Up Breading Station:
In one shallow bowl, combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

Coat the Salmon Bites:
Dip each salmon cube into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it’s well-coated.

Fry the Salmon Bites:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the coated salmon bites in batches, about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Bang Bang Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Adjust the sriracha for more or less heat, depending on your preference.

Toss in Sauce:
Once the salmon bites are fried and crispy, place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over them and toss gently to coat the bites evenly.

Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
