Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- 2 cups Avocado oil
Instructions
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut each fillet into 2-inch wide strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then mix in the sparkling water until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the egg and sparkling water mixture, whisking until smooth to form the tempura batter.
Heat avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Once the oil is hot, dip each salmon strip into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the battered salmon strips into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry each salmon piece for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until the batter is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the salmon tempura from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a creamy avocado dip.
