This recipe is great for littles who aren’t enjoying salmon yet. My eldest thought they were chicken. (Although she loves pan-seared salmon as well.) Hubs and I topped them on leafy green salads.
This recipe has only three ingredients, and it’s very flexible. You can change the ingredients to your liking. I tried with all the different options I listed in the recipe, and my favorite is mayonnaise with corn flakes crumbs.
I get skinless salmon fillet from Costco’s frozen section. And for the corn flakes crumbs, you can get it already crumbled from the market. I love it because, unlike panko bread crumbs, you don’t have to spray oil or pan-toast to get the golden color. I keep them stocked up in the pantry.
