Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for thickening)

Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up nicely when cooked.

    Make the Dredging Mix: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

      Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

        Coat the Salmon: First, dredge each salmon piece in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then, dip them in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

          Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

            Fry the Salmon Bites: Carefully add the coated salmon bites to the hot oil in batches. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked bites and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

              Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cornstarch-water mixture and stir until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.

                Combine & Serve: Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the crispy salmon bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delightful bites warm as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice and vegetables for a main dish!
