We love a good salmon recipe and we’ve been having this Brown Sugar Salmon and Mediterranean Salmon on repeat. They are perfect weeknight salmon recipes that taste restaurant quality! These salmon nuggets with bang bang sauce are a fast and easy appetizer (or dinner option) to start off your new year. You will love how streamlined this recipe is for your busy weeknight meals at home. Just 15 minutes of recipe prep time, and 20 minutes from the oven to your family dinner table.
Panko Breadcrumbs: The consistency of Panko breadcrumbs creates a crispier salmon nugget, compared to regular breadcrumbs. Use gluten free breadcrumbs as needed. Salmon: Choose salmon fillets that are firm with brightly colored flesh. Frozen salmon works too, thaw completely before cooking. Salmon is an excellent source of protein, Vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Eggs: Be sure to whisk the eggs well (these are for the breading station). The well beaten eggs will coat the entire surface of the salmon bite so the Panko breadcrumbs can stick. Apple Cider Vinegar: It works in tandem with salt and sugar so it brightens up the bang bang sauce. Sweet Chili Sauce: Sweet, tangy, savory deliciousness. A store bought sauce is perfect. Mayonnaise: The bang bang sauce is best with mayo (full fat, light or fat free all work). Can use Greek yogurt in a pinch but we love it best with mayo! Sriracha: Add more or less depending on how spicy you like your sauce. Also feel free to use another hot sauce of your liking.
