Jeremy had caught some salmon on a work fishing trip that was in our freezer and we wanted to do something new and exciting that Henry could enjoy, so we adapted this recipe to make it gluten free.
Crispy Salmon Fish Sticks
1 egg - beaten
1 tsp water
2 cup bread crumbs (see below)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
dash salt & pepper
8 oz salmon cut into "sticks"
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, set up the egg wash and dredge. In one shallow dish, add the egg and whisk it together with the water. In another shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix the crumb mixture together so the seasonings spread evenly. With one hand, roll a piece of salmon in the egg wash and lay it in the crumb mixture. With the other hand, roll the salmon in the crumbs. Lay on a plate and repeat with the remaining salmon. Spray the bottom of the air fryer tray with cooking spray. Lay out the breaded salmon, spray the tops with cooking spray and cook for 10 minutes.
bread crumbs: take 6 slices gluten free bread, bake them 3-5 minutes to remove moisture, then put on racks to cool. Place in food processor and pulse until bread crumbs form. Measure out about 2 cups of crumbs for this recipe.
