Recipe Notes

  • use single salmon filets ( I buy a bag of frozen individually wrapped salmon filets and use four of them) but feel free to use fresh as well.
  • you can use more or less hot sauce depending your desire for spice
  • you can also use the sauce for dipping instead of drizzling over the bites
