I’m not a big fan of cooked fish. I like it but I don’t love it. Mars is the same way, although he loves sushi. Salmon is a great protein and omega 3 source so I masked salmon as a chicken nugget and with ketchup on the side, the whole family devoured it. This recipe is so easy to make. It literally takes 5 minutes to prep the nuggets and just 12-15 minutes to bake in the oven. I usually smash some baby potatoes and chuck them into the oven at the same time to cook. FYI, 3 ounces of cooked salmon has 1900mg omega 3s. The USDA recommends women to consume 1100mg/day and men 1600mg/day.

INGREDIENTS

1 Norwegian or farmed salmon fillet
A dusting of flour (I love cassava)
1 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs, whisked
1 tsp dried or fresh mixed herbs
salt and pepper ( I love Maldon)
Lemon, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the skin from the salmon fillets and chop them into bite sized chunks.
Place flour in a bowl. In a second bowl crack the eggs and whisk with a fork. In a third bowl add the panko breadcumbs and mix in the dried herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
Make the nuggets by taking one chunk of salmon, coating it in the flour, dip it in the egg and then sprinkle on the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the nuggets have been made.
Lightly grease a baking dish or use parchment paper and place the nuggets onto it. Bake in the oven at 225 for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.
Serve immediately.
