Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by laying your salmon fillets flat on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, slice them into finger-sized strips, roughly 1-inch wide.
- Breadcrumb Mixture: In a bowl, combine wholemeal bread crumbs, lemon zest, and fresh dill. Mix them well ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Egg Wash: Break the egg into a separate bowl, beat it slightly with a whisk or fork. Add in salt and black pepper and mix well.
- Coating: Dip each salmon strip first into the egg wash, ensuring it’s well coated, then roll it into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure the salmon is evenly covered on all sides.
- Cooking: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the coated salmon fingers in the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
- Cooling: After cooking, place the salmon fingers on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes.
Tips to boost your Super salmon fingers
- To give your super salmon fingers a little kick, consider adding a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
- For an extra crispiness, consider using panko breadcrumbs in place of the wholemeal.
- When cooking, avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures each finger cooks evenly and gets a nice golden-brown color.
- Always use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
Serving and enjoying Super salmon fingers
- Pair these Super salmon fingers with a light yoghurt or tzatziki dip. The coolness of the dip complements the warm, crispy texture of the fingers.
- You could also accompany them with a fresh green salad, drizzled with a lemony vinaigrette. This not only adds a burst of color to your plate but also ensures a balanced meal.
- A serving of baked or air-fried sweet potato fries can also be a fantastic side. They’re healthier than regular fries and bring a sweet contrast to the savory salmon.
- Lastly, always serve with a wedge of lemon. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before eating? Perfection!
