AIR FRYER SALMON NUGGETS



Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets image

Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, these salmon nuggets are finished off with a sweet chipotle-maple drizzle. These make a great appetizer and are also tasty served over greens. Try and find center-cut salmon filets that are at least 1-inch thick. I usually buy extra salmon, and trim off the thinner outer edges, saving for another use. I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup maple syrup
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
1 pinch sea salt
1 ½ cups butter- and garlic-flavored croutons
1 large egg
1 (1 pound) skinless, center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine maple syrup, chipotle powder, and salt in saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  • Place croutons in the bowl of a mini food processor; pulse until crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle salmon lightly with sea salt. Lightly dip salmon into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat salmon in crouton breading and shake off extra. Set on a plate and mist lightly with cooking spray.
  • Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon nuggets inside, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, if necessary.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Gently turn salmon pieces, spray lightly with oil, and cook until salmon is cooked throughout, 3 to 4 more minutes. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with warm chipotle-maple syrup. Serve immediately.

Expensive restaurant dish that's best enjoyed in the comfort (and budget) of your own home. This recipe is a great base to enjoy as-is or play with to suit your creative tastes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces honey roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup bourbon whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ pounds salmon fillet, skinned
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place peanuts in a large resealable bag and pound into fine crumbs with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or flat side of a can. Add pepper; mix well.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, garlic, and onion powder. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce thickens and has a syrupy consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it is still hot to the touch but not scalding, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut thinner parts of salmon fillets into strips and place in a small bowl. Coat with a little bit of the sauce. Cut thicker parts of salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place in the saucepan; stir to coat with sauce. Let sit until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place strips of salmon on one side of the baking dish and cubes on the other, making sure all pieces are coated with sauce but not overlapping. Sprinkle peanut and black pepper mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until strips flake easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the dish and continue baking until cubes flake easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more.
