Notes
- 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.
