• If you prefer a stronger bourbon flavor, you can increase the amount of bourbon in the marinade.
• For a crispy exterior, broil the salmon nuggets for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon nuggets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the nuggets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the salmon nuggets as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish with a side of roasted vegetables or rice.
