I’m excited to have Kalya’s feedback, as I’m sure some of the readers here are also just learning to cook. Kayla is a rookie home cook, understandably, still attending high school. I am happy to have an eager recipe tester, Kalya, on board, who tried out this recipe and shared her feedback. This will get panko golden brown while baking. If using panko, mix panko with 1 tbsp of melted butter before coating on the salmon cubes.Pat dry salmon with paper towels and proceed to step 3. For extra juicy salmon, you can brine the cubed salmon in salt water (1/4 cup salt dissolved into 2 cups of water) for 10 minutes.So it’s best to keep one hand dry for the rolling job. (Watch this short video.) Once wet ingredients are all over the crumbs, they clump together and won’t stick to the salmon. When coating the crumbs, I like to use one hand to dip salmon cubes into the wet sauce and then use the other dry hand to roll over on crumbs. And we do not want to overcook salmon Overcooking will lead to dry unappetizing salmon. Without butter, you’ll mostly end up with very white/raw panko when salmon is cooked through. Butter will help panko get nicely golden brown in the oven quickly. I love the crunchiness of corn flakes crumbs here! When using panko, mix the panko with melted butter before coating the salmon nuggets. You can choose between corn flakes crumbs, bread crumbs, or panko bread crumbs. Getting the crumbs to stick is harder when you have too much wet sauce. You want the salmon cubes to be well coated but not dripping in sauce. My favorite is mayonnaise in terms of flavor, but since I use mayo in my Easy Panko Crusted Salmon recipe, I like to switch it up to ranch when making these nuggets. You can choose either ranch dressing, mayo, or full-fat yogurt to coat the salmon nuggets. Drain the water and pat dry salmon cubes with paper towels. Add the cubed salmon and soak for 10 minutes. To brine salmon, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in 2 cups of water. And the extra insurance for flaky salmon is a step worth taking in my book. However, soaking in saltwater gets salmon nicely seasoned throughout the whole cut. Since we are coating salmon cubes on all sides with ranch, mayo, or yogurt, salmon is well protected and stay moist while baking. Besides, these nuggets taste great at room temperature too! (Optional) Brine salmon cubes in saltwater You can easily top them on salads or pack them in lunches. However, there are still upsides to making nuggets. It’s easier to crust the whole salmon fillet compared to coating cubed salmons individually in crumbs. (Munchkin thought these were chicken nuggets at first.) Nowadays, my kids love salmon, and my go-to salmon recipe is this Easy Panko Crusted Salmon. This recipe is super flexible, and it’s good for picky eaters who have yet to become fans of salmon. You only need three ingredients to make these salmon nuggets.
