03 - 2 large eggs, beaten
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Slice the fresh salmon fillets into uniform 1-inch cubes and thoroughly pat dry using paper towels.
02 - Arrange three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and a third combining panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Dredge each salmon cube in flour, immerse in beaten eggs, and finish by coating evenly in the seasoned panko mixture. Place onto a tray.
04 - Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven and heat over medium to medium-high heat until oil is hot but not smoking.
05 - Carefully fry salmon bites in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, ensuring a golden and crispy exterior. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
07 - Drizzle warm salmon bites with Bang Bang sauce or serve sauce on the side for dipping. Present immediately while hot.

01 - To maximize crispiness, avoid overcrowding the skillet during frying and allow oil to return to temperature between batches.
