Steps
Let’s go to the kitchen
Choose nice salmon fillets, remove the central bone and skin.
then cut them first into strips,
then into pieces about 3/4 inch.
then cut them into pieces about 3/4 inch. Now beat the eggs,
and dip the fish pieces.
In a bowl, prepare the Sicilian seasoned breadcrumbs, following my recipe, click here.
Skewer the egg-dipped fish pieces, then coat them in the breadcrumbs,
ensuring the breadcrumbs cover all sides.
Now decide how to cook the skewers:
if baking, place them on a baking tray with parchment paper and a little oil. Bake at 356°F fan-forced for 10 minutes
If using an air fryer, at 392°F for 10-15 minutes.
I cooked them in a pan with very hot vegetable oil. Once immersed in the oil, cook them for about 3 minutes per side,
Once cooked, let them dry on a sheet of paper towels and serve hot.
A tip I want to give you: since I had leftover egg and breadcrumbs, I made some skewers with the vegetables I had in the fridge.
