Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet (skinless)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
- lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.
Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into evenly sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide by 3 inches long.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Dredge each salmon strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the whisked eggs and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Place the breaded salmon sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the salmon fish sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crispy and the salmon is cooked through. You can check for doneness by flaking a piece of salmon; it should be opaque and tender.
Remove the fish sticks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or homemade aioli.
