Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams salmon fillet (skinless)
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into small chunks and place in a food processor.
Add the cream cheese, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until well combined but still slightly chunky. Do not puree completely.
Portion the mixture into 6 equal parts, then shape each part into a log approximately 6-7 cm long.
Place the shaped logs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the salmon logs from the freezer. Coat each log in flour, followed by the beaten egg, and finally the panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Carefully place the breaded salmon logs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried salmon logs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or sriracha mayo, and enjoy!
