Crispy Keto Everything Bagel Salmon Bites with Lemon Dill Aioli
"If you are missing the crunch and savory punch of a morning bagel on your keto journey, these Everything Bagel Seasoned Salmon Bites are the ultimate solution. Rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, salmon is a superstar ingredient for the ketogenic diet. This recipe transforms standard fillets into crispy, bite-sized nuggets of joy that are perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a high-protein lunch prep. By cutting the salmon into cubes, we increase the surface area for seasoning, ensuring every bite is coated in that iconic garlic, onion, and sesame blend. To balance the macros and add a hit of healthy fats, we pair these bites with a creamy, homemade Lemon Dill Aioli. This dish is not only low in net carbs but also promotes brain health and keeps you satiated for hours."
Ingredients
Instructions
Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up nicely.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with the olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning and red pepper flakes over the salmon. Toss gently to coat every side of the cubes.
If using an Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Arrange salmon bites in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
If using an Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread salmon bites evenly and bake for 10-12 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, fresh dill, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Serve the hot salmon bites immediately with the Lemon Dill Aioli for dipping.
