FAQs
Can I bake the salmon bites instead of frying?
Yes! Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the breaded salmon pieces on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely. The Bang Bang sauce can be prepared up to 5 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Can I use frozen salmon?
While fresh salmon is recommended, you can use frozen salmon if it’s thoroughly thawed and patted dry to remove excess moisture.
