Quick and easy Asian style salmon bites coming in hot, hot, hot!
Because it’s been a minute since I shared any savory recipes with you I figured it was time.
Plus, I made these babies as a snacky type lunch (my fave kind) the other day and I am obsessed with them!
So simple, so flavorful, so, so addicting!
Or is it addictive?!
I never get that right!
Either way they are all kinds of delicious and I can not stop eating them.
Well, that’s not entirely true, I probably could if I really wanted to but I don’t. not even a little. bit!
So, if you’re looking for a crazy delicious, super simple way to spice up your daily eats then look no further my hungry friend, I have just what you need.
And even if you’re not actively looking, hear me when I say you need these delicious little morsels in your life, sooner rather than later.
Succulent, juicy, seriously flavorful, salmon bites infused with touch of Asian flare then finished with a deliciously nutty crisp and crunchy coating!
Oh that crisp and crunchy coating . . . gets me every single time!
Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle . . .
Soooo good!
Serve them simply as they are, with a dollop of mayo and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce is my absolute fave!
Seriously these babies are packed with so much flavor they really need nothing else!
Add them to your nourish bowl, make them into burgers, or Asian style tacos (oh you better believe that will be happening, and soon!) how ever you choose to do it you really can’t go wrong!
