Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 lb fresh salmon (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 3 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or parsley)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing or spraying)

Equipment

• 1 Mixing Bowl
• 1 Baking Tray
• 1 Parchment Paper
• 1 Spatula
• 1 Knife & chopping board

Method

 

1. Make the salmon: Finely chop the fresh salmon and put it in a mixing bowl. This will be the foundation of your bites.
2. Combine ingredients: Add cream cheese, egg, almond flour, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a thick, sticky mixture.
3. Shape the bites: Scoop small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls or gently press into mini patties. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking tray.
4. Cook the bites: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown or air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until crisp.
5. Rest and serve: Allow the salmon bites to rest for 5 minutes and serve warm with your favourite keto approved dipping sauce.

Notes

• Use skinless salmon fillets for best results.
• Chill the mixture for 10 minutes before shaping to make it easier.
• Air frying gives extra crispiness with less oil.
• Stir in shredded cheese for a thicker consistency.
• Serve with lemon wedges for freshness.
