Notes
Make sure to pat the salmon pieces dry with a paper towel before coating them; this helps the breading stick better. For extra crunch, try toasting the panko breadcrumbs lightly in a dry skillet before using them. Keep an eye on the bites as they bake; oven temperatures can vary, and you want them perfectly golden brown without burning. Experiment with different dipping sauces if you’re feeling adventurous; teriyaki or a simple garlic aioli would be fantastic!
