Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon Bites
Delightful, crispy salmon bites coated in a sticky honey garlic sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets (skin removed)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great for extra crunch)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil, for frying (canola or vegetable oil works well)
For the Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (ensure it’s halal-certified)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cutting the fresh salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
Breading and Cooking
- Take each salmon piece, first coat it in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally cover it with breadcrumbs.
- In a large pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom (about ½ inch). Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the salmon pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making the Sauce
- In a separate saucepan on medium heat, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ginger if using. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Toss the crispy salmon bites in the honey garlic sauce until well-coated.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
