Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Form the salmon mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon.
Place the formed salmon bites on a greased baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bites are firm and slightly golden.
While the salmon bites are baking, prepare the sauce by blending sour cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Remove the salmon bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the warm salmon bites with a generous drizzle of the creamy dipping sauce.
