Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create Crispy Spicy Salmon Bites that will impress your guests and delight your taste buds:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches in size, ensuring they cook evenly.
3. Set Up Breading Station:
– Place the all-purpose flour in one bowl.
– In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until they are fully blended.
– In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Salmon:
– First, dredge each salmon piece into the flour, shaking off excess.
– Next, dip the floured piece into the egg mixture.
– Finally, coat it with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure adherence.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
6. Add Oil: Drizzle the salmon bites with olive oil or spray them lightly with cooking spray for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and flake easily when tested with a fork.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven, let cool for a moment, and then garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
9. Serve with Dipping Sauce: If desired, serve with a side of sriracha mayo or tahini for an extra kick of flavor.
