Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each salmon piece in flour, dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Frying
- In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F. Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.
- Carefully place the salmon bites into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the salmon bites with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce or aioli. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
Storage
- Store any leftover salmon bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
