How to Make Bang Bang Salmon Bites Bowls
Step 1: Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Salmon Bites
Pat salmon pieces dry. In a shallow bowl, toss with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry salmon bites for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 3: Coat with Sauce
Remove salmon from heat and toss immediately with the Bang Bang sauce until fully coated.

Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and salmon bites. Drizzle any extra sauce over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or avocado if desired.
