  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SALMON:

  • Salmon provides a satisfying and nourishing foundation for the bites. Fresh fillets have the finest flavor; however, thawed freezer fish can work well. The coating will adhere better if the fish is patted dry.

EGG:

  • The egg serves as a binder to help the salmon adhere to the almond flour and Parmesan. A thorough beating results in a uniform coating.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour adds a nutty crunch and makes the coating low in carbohydrates. It crisps up wonderfully in the oven or air fryer. Utilize fine-milled flour for optimal results.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • It provides the golden crust on the salmon. It gives salmon a savory, salty taste that goes well with it. We have to utilize freshly grated cheese as it has more taste than pre-grated cheese.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • It provides a rich, aromatic depth in the fish. It blends into the coating uniformly. A tiny quantity is sufficient to maintain flavor balance.

SMOKED PAPRIKA:

  • Smoked paprika gives a hint of color and a mild smokiness. It melds nicely with Parmesan and garlic. The nibbles taste better and look better thanks to this spice.

SALT:

  • Salt seasons the coating and brings out the salmon’s inherent flavor. Adjust the amount depending on how salty the Parmesan is.

BLACK PEPPER:

  • Black pepper balances the richness of salmon and cheese and provides a hint of spice. The finest flavor comes from freshly cracked pepper. It completes the mixture of seasonings.

AVOCADO OIL:

  • Avocado or olive oil aids in the coating’s crisping while keeping the salmon moist. Lightly brush or drizzle before baking or air-frying. Both oils contribute good fats.
