Notes
Storage: Store leftover Bang Bang Salmon Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain their crispiness, place a paper towel at the bottom of the container to absorb excess moisture.
Reheating: To reheat, place the salmon bites on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until heated through. This will help restore their crispy texture.
Serving: Serve Bang Bang Salmon Bites hot, drizzled with extra sauce on top or alongside for dipping. They make a perfect appetizer or snack and pair well with a fresh salad or rice.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra crunch, consider adding spices or herbs to the panko breadcrumbs, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning, to enhance the flavor of the salmon bites.
