Ingredients
Bang Bang Salmon
  • 2 lbs. salmon fillets
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • Canola or Vegetable oil
Cucumber Salad

Sriracha Mayo
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tbsp. sriracha (depending on how spicy you want it!
For Serving
  • Cooked rice
  • Sliced green onions
Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces. Soak in the buttermilk.
  2. While the salmon are soaking, whisk together cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  3. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in the bottom of a large skillet. Take the salmon from the buttermilk and dredge in the cornstarch mixture. Place in the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. Flip the salmon over after the cornstarch mixture darkens and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels once it's cooked on both sides.
  4. In a small bowl mix together chopped cucumber, salt, sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. You can use as much as you want depending on how spicy you want it!
  6. To assemble your bang bang salmon bowls, place a scoop of rice in the bottom of the bowl and add the salmon and cucumber salad. Top with sriracha mayo and green onions. Enjoy!
