AIR FRYER SALMON NUGGETS



Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets image

Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, these salmon nuggets are finished off with a sweet chipotle-maple drizzle. These make a great appetizer and are also tasty served over greens. Try and find center-cut salmon filets that are at least 1-inch thick. I usually buy extra salmon, and trim off the thinner outer edges, saving for another use. I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup maple syrup
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1 pinch sea salt
1 ½ cups butter- and garlic-flavored croutons
1 large egg
1 (1 pound) skinless, center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine maple syrup, chipotle powder, and salt in saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  • Place croutons in the bowl of a mini food processor; pulse until crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle salmon lightly with sea salt. Lightly dip salmon into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat salmon in crouton breading and shake off extra. Set on a plate and mist lightly with cooking spray.
  • Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon nuggets inside, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, if necessary.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Gently turn salmon pieces, spray lightly with oil, and cook until salmon is cooked throughout, 3 to 4 more minutes. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with warm chipotle-maple syrup. Serve immediately.

Baked Bourbon and Brown Sugar Salmon Nuggets image

Expensive restaurant dish that's best enjoyed in the comfort (and budget) of your own home. This recipe is a great base to enjoy as-is or play with to suit your creative tastes. This dish packs a flavor punch, so use milder side dishes like a rice pilaf and your favorite green beans to cool down the taste buds between bites and avoid sensation overload. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it does taste expensive! Have fun with it and share your variations in the reviews section to help inspire others.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces honey roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup bourbon whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ pounds salmon fillet, skinned
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place peanuts in a large resealable bag and pound into fine crumbs with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or flat side of a can. Add pepper; mix well.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, garlic, and onion powder. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce thickens and has a syrupy consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it is still hot to the touch but not scalding, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut thinner parts of salmon fillets into strips and place in a small bowl. Coat with a little bit of the sauce. Cut thicker parts of salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place in the saucepan; stir to coat with sauce. Let sit until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place strips of salmon on one side of the baking dish and cubes on the other, making sure all pieces are coated with sauce but not overlapping. Sprinkle peanut and black pepper mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until strips flake easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the dish and continue baking until cubes flake easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more.

SALMON NUGGETS



Salmon Nuggets image

This recipe is adapted from one on the Canadian Fishing Company web site. My family likes it better than any of the other salmon loaf or patty recipes I have tried.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (7 1/2 ounce) can salmon (or flake up some leftover salmon)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 egg, beaten
1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
lemon wedge, to squeeze over nuggets (optional)

Steps:

  • Flake salmon in a mixing bowl.
  • Add all other ingredients except butter& lemon.
  • Shape into 1" balls, then flatten slightly.
  • Heat butter or margarine in a non stick frying pan& swirl to cover bottom of pan.
  • Add nuggets and cook over medium high heat, cooking about 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and higher in contaminants.
  • Use a food processor to make the nuggets. This will help to create a uniform texture and make the nuggets easier to shape.
  • Add some breadcrumbs to the mixture. This will help to bind the nuggets together and make them crispy.
  • Season the nuggets with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to give them flavor.
  • Bake the nuggets in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard are all good options.

Conclusion:

Salmon nuggets are a delicious and healthy snack or meal. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun appetizer for a party, salmon nuggets are a great option. So next time you are looking for something new to try, give salmon nuggets a try. You won't be disappointed!
