Calories 400 kcal
Ingredients
1.25 pound salmon filets (or 500 grams)
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup coconut cream or heavy cream
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F/ 200C / 180C fan.
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl (almond flour, parmesan or nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.) Place in a shallow rimmed bowl or large plate.
Add coconut milk or heavy cream and eggs to a clean bowl and whisk using a fork or balloon whisk to combine.
Slice the salmon into 1 inch nuggets, make about 20 pieces. Coat each piece in the crumb then egg mix then back into the crumb again.
Gently place the breaded salmon nuggets on a baking tray. Spray with oil or line with greaseproof paper and bake for 6 – 8 mins then turn and bake further 5 – 8 mins until golden.
Option to fry; add about an inch high of oil to a high sided skillet, heat until hot and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden. Don’t over flip though or they will lose the crumb.
If frying place on kitchen paper to drain excess oil. If baking, enjoy straight from the tray with your favourite keto dip!
