Prepare the Mixture:
Begin by placing the salmon fillet, corn, grated carrot, blanched broccoli, cheddar cheese, egg, chopped shallots, minced garlic, and green onion into a blender or food processor. Add the ice-cold water gradually while blending until you achieve a smooth and well-combined mixture. Be careful not to over-blend.

Incorporate Cheese:
Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the grated cheddar cheese gently with a spatula, ensuring it’s evenly distributed without blending it further. -
Steam the Nuggets:
Transfer the mixture into a suitable steaming dish or mold. Steam over boiling water for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, or until firm. To check for doneness, insert a fork; if it comes out clean, it’s ready. Allow the steamed mixture to cool completely (you may place it in the refrigerator if needed) until it can be cut into pieces. -
Prepare the Coating:
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, boiled water, ground coriander, and salt. Mix until you have a thick batter. -
Coat the Nuggets:
Once the cooled mixture is cut into nugget-sized pieces, dip each piece into the prepared batter, allowing excess to drip off. Then roll it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well. -
Freeze for Firmness:
Place the coated nuggets on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. This step helps maintain their shape during frying. -
Fry the Nuggets:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan until hot. Carefully add the frozen nuggets to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once fried, remove the nuggets and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy this delicious and nutritious snack with family and friends!
