Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish skin (preferably salmon or sea bass)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Carefully scrape off any remaining fish flesh from the skins using a sharp knife, leaving only the skin.
Rinse the fish skins under cold water to remove any scales or residues. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the fish skins and then drizzle with lemon juice to enhance flavor and help tenderize them.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Lay the fish skins flat on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the fish skins with cooking spray to promote extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until skins are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the crispy fish skins from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve as a crunchy snack or add to salads for a delightful texture!
