Crispy Healthy Salmon Nuggets

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

24 ounces wild caught sockeye salmon (or any salmon you have access to, skin on or off)

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup yogurt (greek yogurt or skyr, 56 grams / 2 ounces)

2 tablespoon mild harissa paste (35 grams / 1.2 ounces)

2/3 cup almond flour (80 grams / 2.8 ounces)

1/2 teaspoon flaky salt (plus more as needed)

Avocado spray oil (optional)

Directions

Position a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F convection.

Season both sides of the salmon with kosher salt and black pepper.

Slice the salmon into 1-inch cubes.

Add the salmon pieces to a large bowl, add in 1/4 cup of greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons mild harissa paste. Mix well so that the salmon is fully coated. See Note.

In a small dish to the side, add the 2/3 cup of almond flour and season with 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt. Toss to break up any clumps.

Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet to the side. Take each salmon nugget and lightly toss it in the almond flour to get it coated on all sides. Add these to the baking sheet. If your salmon has skin on it, make sure you place these skin-side-down.

Lightly spray the nuggets with spray avocado oil. This is optional, but will help them get some color.

Bake at 425°F for 20-22 minutes or until golden and crisp on the bottoms.

Serve warm!
