Crispy Salmon Fish Sticks
Most toddlers love fried foods and these crispy fish sticks have the same texture as a fried fish stick, without the processed oils!
If you have a picky eater that doesn’t love seafood, try these fish sticks out and you may surprise your little one! Dipped in their favorite condiment, these crispy sticks are a tasty way to enjoy fish with your family.
The air fryer works its magic and ensures each fish stick is nice and crispy!

Crispy Salmon Fish Sticks
Ingredients
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs + more if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz salmon sliced into 4 "sticks"
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, setup the egg wash and dredge. In one shallow dish, add the egg and whisk it together with the water. In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix the panko mixture together so the seasonings spread evenly.
- With one hand, roll a piece of salmon in the egg wash and lay it in the panko mixture. With the other hand, roll the salmon in the panko. 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. Serve warm.
