- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Start by cutting the salmon into 1-inch cubes, then pat them dry with paper towels.

- Coat each salmon cube in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and roll in the panko mixture. Set aside on a plate.

- Mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl to create the bang bang sauce.
- Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the fried salmon bites and serve immediately.
