Air Fryer Salmon Bacon with Sockeye Salmon Strips
September 28th, 2022Use These Savory Strips for Sandwiches, Salads, and Healthy Breakfasts
This salmon bacon recipe turns a pack of Sockeye Salmon Strips into a fun and delicious protein that you can layer onto sandwiches, scatter over salad, or serve in the morning alongside eggs as an omega-3-rich alternative to the usual breakfast options.
A simple miso paste mixture — enhanced with a pinch of smoked paprika — adds the umami element needed to mimic the smoky savoriness of storebought bacon. Cooked in an air fryer, the salmon strips are transformed into firm, meaty bites of fish in under 5 minutes. The miso mixture also helps to add toothsome texture to the salmon strips, as the sugars in the miso paste caramelize in the hot air fryer.
