Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Measuring Cups
  • Oven or Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Salmon Cut Into Cubes
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
  • 1/2 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the Oven
    Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your Coconut-Crusted Salmon Bites cook evenly.
  • 2. Prepare the Salmon
    In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper. Make sure every piece gets coated well!
  • 3. Coat with Coconut and Panko
    Add the Shredded Coconut and Panko Breadcrumbs. Mix until the salmon pieces are covered. The combination gives a delightful crunch!
  • 4. Arrange on Baking Sheet
    Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the coated salmon in a single layer, giving each piece some space.
  • 5. Bake or Air Fry
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. If you prefer air frying, cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes until crispy.
  • 6. Check Doneness
    Use a fork to check if they flake easily. If they need more time, cook for another minute or two.
  • 7. Serve and Enjoy
    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve your Coconut-Crusted Salmon Bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
