Salmon fish fingers are a delightful and healthy twist on the classic fish finger recipe. These homemade fish fingers are made with fresh salmon, providing a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein. The combination of herbs, parmesan, and a crispy breadcrumb coating gives them an irresistible flavor. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even main course, these salmon fish fingers are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Instructions:
- Remove the skin and any bones from the salmon fillet.
- Cut the salmon into small chunks.
- Place the chunks in a food processor or blender and pulse until it reaches a coarse consistency, resembling ground meat. Alternatively, you can finely chop the salmon by hand.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed salmon, finely chopped onion, and chopped parsley.
- Mix in the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
3. Shaping the Fish Fingers:
- Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
- Take a small amount of the salmon mixture and shape it into a finger-sized log, about 2-3 inches long.
- Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing each shaped fish finger on a plate or tray.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes:
- One with the all-purpose flour.
- One with the two eggs, beaten.
- One with additional bread crumbs for coating (optional).
- Dredge each salmon finger in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Finally, roll it in the bread crumbs (if using) to form an even coating.
- Place the coated fish fingers on a clean plate or tray.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the fish fingers in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the salmon fish fingers hot with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh and free from any bones before starting the recipe.
- For an extra crispy coating, consider double-dipping the fish fingers in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- Feel free to add additional spices or herbs to the bread crumb mixture for extra flavor; paprika or garlic powder can be great additions.
- Serve the fish fingers with a dipping sauce like tartar sauce or lemon aioli for an added burst of flavor.
- If you want to make the recipe healthier, you can bake the fish fingers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, instead of frying in olive oil.
Making salmon fish fingers at home is an excellent way to ensure you're using fresh, high-quality ingredients while avoiding additives often found in store-bought versions. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these fish fingers can be enjoyed with a variety of dipping sauces or sides. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking to add more fish to your diet, this recipe is a winning choice.
