Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 units Eggs
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 milliliters Olive oil (for frying)
- 1 unit Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 bowl Optional dipping sauce of choice
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches each. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each salmon cube in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it evenly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded salmon nuggets into the skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the salmon nuggets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spatula to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the salmon nuggets warm with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
