Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches each.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the bang bang sauce.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each piece of salmon in flour, then egg, and finally the panko mixture.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the salmon bites for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the salmon bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
