Crispy Salmon Bites Recipe
If you love salmon, then you’ll absolutely love these bites. They’re easy to make, incredibly tasty, and a huge hit with the entire family.
These crispy salmon bites are to die for. They are tender, flaky, and flavourful. I’ve been making them for some weeks now, and I’m absolutely loving them. Seriously, you’ll have some people licking the bottom of the pan after dinner, so watch out!
I used Alaskan wild salmon for this recipe, but feel free to substitute it with whatever type of salmon you prefer.
Oven, Air fryer, and Stovetop.
These bite-sized salmon are seasoned to perfection in 3 different ways – oven, air fryer, and stovetop. They are quick and easy to make, which is great for those busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time to get dinner on the table.
I served these bites wit a delicious homemade sauce. The sweet tangy creamy sauce is delicious and will have your family coming back for more!
These crispy Salmon Bites are the perfect lunch, dinner, appetizer, or snack! You can throw them together in minutes, and they make a great healthy meal!
Make inexpensive salmon bites with the following common pantry ingredients:
Salmon fillet: I used the center-cut skinned salmon fillet cut into 1-inch pieces. Feel free to use skinless salmon, either frozen or fresh.
Paprika: adds a perfect smoky taste to the recipe.
Garlic and onion powder: these duo aromatics add flavors to the bites.
Thyme and oregano: these two herbs switch up the aroma of the bites and make them more flavourful.
Cayenne pepper: Adds a bit of heat. Feel free to adjust it.
Salt and black pepper: add to taste
For the sauce: Greek yogurt for the creamy sauce, olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, clove garlic, salt, and black pepper
How to Make Fried Salmon Bites
You can make these salmon bites in three different ways: stovetop, air fryer, and oven.
Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. I don’t trash the flat sides. I also cook them! Nothing wasted!!
Season the fish very well
Cook on the stovetop, air fryer, or oven.
Serve with your desired sauce
The Sauce
The creamy sweet, and tangy dipping sauce complements the mouth-watering taste of the salmon bites. All you need are Greek yogurt, olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice for a tangy taste, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
If you have leftover sauce, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
I doubt if the bites will remain. Anyways, if you still have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for 3 – 4 days. Salmon bites are delicious cold, but if you still want to reheat them, reheat them thoroughly in the oven, air fryer, or stovetop.
