Tired of the whining when trying to get your kiddos, hubby, or [insert fish-hater in your life] to eat their salmon? Well fret, no more because I’ve got you covered with…
Salmon Nuggets.
Salmon is a great source of the omega 3s, EPA and DHA. This is different from the type of omega 3, ALA, found in walnuts, chia seeds, and canola oil. ALA has to be converted to DHA to be used by the body. And while I’m a fan of chia seeds, if we ONLY rely on them for omega 3s we will fall deficient.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, garlic, lime zest, salt and pepper together.
- In separate bowl, whisk egg.
- In another bowl, stir together flour and salt.
- Cut salmon into 1 inch nuggets.
- Dredge salmon pieces through, flour; then egg; finally bread crumbs.
- Place salmon on baking sheet and mist pieces with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with ketchup or tartar sauce.

would these hold up in the freezer?
I would suspect they would, however I haven’t tested that. If you do try, please let us know.

Awesome to hear that you both loved it!! Thanks for your feedback!
My 4 year old boy loved these! Hubby and father did too!! Huge success!
I used Scottish Salmon because I felt it would hold up better than Sockeye. My little one made me buy one of those lime juice in the lime shaped bottle things a while back – so I just squirted some of that on the panko. 😉
I am adjusting my recipe card though. I had much panko and flour left and barely had enough egg. I am going to try to reduce the panko to 3/4 cup and the flour to 1/4 cup. I will also use 2 eggs. Maybe my eggs were smaller. 🙂
Thanks for the post! This will definitely be made again!
GLAD to hear about your success!! I appreciate you leaving your adjustments to this recipe too.. you're feedback is so helpful!
Great idea for my kids (and me too!)
HAHA!! I need to make these again! I found myself snacking on them too.
I already told you this on Instagram, but oh my gosh!!!! These look so good.
Thanks for pinning and sweet messages Carlene!
