Ingredients
Salmon Fish Fingers:
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Breading:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
For Cooking:
- Oil spray or 1/4 cup vegetable oil for pan-frying
Instructions
- Cut the Salmon: Cut the salmon into finger-sized strips, about 3–4 inches long. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Prepare Breading Station: Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko and Parmesan.
- Bread the Salmon: Dredge each salmon strip in flour, then dip in egg, then coat in the panko mixture. Press gently to adhere.
- Air Fry or Pan Fry: To air fry, preheat to 400°F, spray fish fingers with oil, and cook for 8–10 minutes. To pan fry, heat oil in a skillet and fry fish fingers for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy.
- Serve: Serve hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a dip of your choice.
Notes
- Use skinless, boneless salmon for ease.
- Can be made ahead and frozen before cooking.
- For extra flavor, add dried herbs or lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture.
