PRESENTATION

If you're looking for a fun, super tasty appetizer, these crispy salmon bites are a real hit. Imagine little triangles of salmon—seriously good—covered in a crunchy breading with bold spices. Each bite packs such a punch of flavor! Baking these bites in the oven keeps them super light and way less greasy than deep-frying. And look, you still get that amazing spiced salmon bites texture everyone loves. The inside stays tender while the outside gets that perfect snap when you bite in.

Preparation

How to prepare Crispy Spiced Salmon Bites

To prepare the crispy spiced salmon bites, start by making the coating. Pour the breadcrumbs and cornmeal into a bowl 1; then add the ground white pepper, mustard powder 2, paprika, and pistachio crumbs 3.

Add the salt 4 and mix everything together. Add the finely grated lemon zest 5 and curry 6. Mix again and set aside.

Take the salmon fillet, remove any bones 7, and remove the skin if present. Cut it into slices about 1.2 inches wide, then divide each slice in half 8 to make triangles. Once all the bites are done, transfer them to a small bowl and season with salt 9, oil, and pepper. Mix to combine the ingredients, ensuring each piece of salmon is well oiled, so the coating adheres perfectly.

Place each salmon bite inside the bowl with the coating 10, then roll it inside to coat all sides 11. Lay the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 12

and continue this way until all pieces are done 13. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 8-10 minutes (if using a convection oven, bake at 320°F for about 6 minutes). Meanwhile, as the salmon cooks, make the faux mayonnaise. Pour the seed oil into the glass of an immersion blender 14 and add the filtered orange juice 15.

Add the soy milk 16 and blend everything with an immersion blender 17 until you get a creamy mayonnaise, then transfer it to a small bowl 18.

Add the orange zest and mix to combine everything. Once the crispy and spiced salmon bites are out of the oven 20, serve them hot with the orange faux mayonnaise 21.

Storage

It is advisable to serve the crispy spiced salmon bites as soon as they are prepared; with the humidity of the refrigerator, they would lose their crispness. Freezing is not recommended.
