Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon fillet skinless and diced into small chunks
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Chopped scallions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
  4. In another bowl, pour in the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Coat each salmon piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  6. Dip the floured salmon into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly for an even coating.
  7. Arrange the salmon poppers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  9. While baking, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Once the salmon poppers are ready, let them cool for a few minutes and serve warm with the sauce drizzled on top or alongside for dipping, garnished with chopped scallions.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider air frying the salmon poppers at 375°F for approximately 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even crispiness.
  • Feel free to swap the salmon for shrimp or chicken, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
