- 1 lb fresh salmon cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon cubes with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, lemon juice, and egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Form the mixture into bite-sized balls or patties.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon bites for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
- Freshness: Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Frozen salmon can work, but fresh is recommended for this recipe.
- Breadcrumb Variations: You can substitute regular breadcrumbs with panko for an extra crispy texture, or use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
- Flavor Adjustments: Feel free to add extra spices like paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, or herbs like dill for a more vibrant flavor.
- Baking Option: If you prefer a healthier alternative, bake the salmon bites in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Dipping Sauces: Serve with tartar sauce, garlic aioli, or a spicy sriracha mayo for added flavor.
