FAQ:
Q: Can I prepare the salmon bites ahead of time?
A: It’s best to fry them fresh for maximum crispiness, but you can prepare the coating mixture and sauce in advance.

A: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
