Ingredients

Salmon Sliders

  • 1 pound skinless salmon fillet (cut into 2-ounce portions)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 slider buns (toasted)

Lemon Arugula Slaw

  • 1 cup arugula
  • ½ cup shredded green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced avocado
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper thoroughly to create a seasoned coating for the salmon.
  2. Coat the salmon: Dip each 2-ounce salmon portion into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly, ensuring the breadcrumbs adhere well to the fish.
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the coated salmon pieces carefully into the pan. Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through, firm to the touch but still moist inside.
  4. Make the lemon arugula slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine arugula and shredded green cabbage. Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy, tangy dressing.
  5. Assemble the sliders: Place a crispy salmon piece on the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Top with a generous spoonful of the lemon arugula slaw. Add optional toppings such as sliced avocado, tomato, or pickles if desired. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can air-fry the salmon at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes instead of pan-frying.
  • The lemon arugula slaw can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated to save time during assembly.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the salmon to achieve a crispy crust without overcooking the inside.
