Sean
These bang bang salmon nuggets are the appetizer I make when people are coming over. They require minimal effort and taste amazing. The best part is they are ready in about 20 minutes, and this healthy high protein appetizer is sure to be a hit at a game day spread or on a holiday table. Everything cooks on one rack in the oven, so clean up is quite easy.
