Picky kids are sure to approve of these Keto Salmon Nuggets – they’re low-carb and gluten-free!

As a kid, did you enjoy the taste of frozen fish sticks dunked in tartar sauce? I did and always loved the crunchy fish nugget sensation. As I grew older, however, I began to appreciate different types of real fish varieties without the additional breading.

I generally stopped eating the same type of fish sticks I grew up on. Sometimes, I still miss their crispy texture. Luckily, if you grew up loving fried fish nuggets, now you can relish the same taste without oversaturated carbs. This keto fish nugget recipe will satisfy picky children and adults alike.

Keto Salmon Nuggets

Keto Salmon Nuggets Ingredients

• 1.25-pound salmon filets (or 500 grams)
• 1 egg beaten
• ¼ cup coconut cream or heavy cream
• ½ cup almond meal
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese or ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400F. 
•  Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl (almond flour, parmesan or nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.)
• Place in a shallow-rimmed bowl or large plate. 
• Add coconut milk or heavy cream and eggs to a clean bowl and whisk using a fork or balloon whisk to combine. 
• Slice the salmon into 1-inch nuggets, and make about 20 pieces.
• Coat each piece in the crumb, then egg mix, then back into the crumb again. 
• Gently place the breaded salmon nuggets on a baking tray.
• Spray with oil or line with greaseproof paper, and bake for 6 – 8 mins. Then turn and bake for 5 – 8 mins until golden.
• Option to fry; add about an inch high of oil to a high-sided skillet, heat until hot, and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden. Don’t over-flip, though, or they will lose the crumb.
• If frying, place on kitchen paper to drain excess oil. If baking, enjoy straight from the tray with your favorite keto dip!

In this Keto Taco Cups recipe, I use the Frico ways here, a method of cooking cheese in a pan until it’s slightly crispy but malleable. Cheese taco shells are the ultimate keto hack.

I bake little mounds of cheddar and shape them into handheld cups before they cool completely to form this recipe.

These are a fun option if you are a Tex-Mex ground beef tacos fan and follow a low-carb diet.

You can also peel the cheese off with your hands or use a metal spatula to lift it up, but cutting parchment paper into squares makes it easier to transfer the cheese to the muffin tin. Don’t burn yourself by transferring them before they have cooled for a minute!

Keto Taco Cups Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cheddar
• 1 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb. ground beef

• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Sour cream, for serving
• Diced avocado, for serving
• Freshly chopped cilantro for serving
• Chopped tomatoes, for serving

5. Grease the bottom of a muffin tin with cooking spray, then carefully pick up melted cheese slices and place them on the bottom of the muffin tin.

7. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.
8. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened for about 5 minutes.

For easier peeling the cheese off the parchment, cut parchment paper into 4″ squares so that each cheese disk is on an individual piece of parchment.

Whether you’re on a keto diet or not, these keto stuffed peppers are a fun twist on stuffed peppers, which typically include rice or another hearty grain which are not keto-friendly.

The filling can be changed.

If you don’t like ground beef, substitute ground chicken, turkey, or lamb. A mixture of ground beef and pork will add a little extra flavor and fat.

Prepare these in advance.

When ready to bake, top the peppers with cheese and bacon and follow the instructions below. This is a great make-ahead recipe. Stuff the peppers, then cover and refrigerate.
