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
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut each fillet into 2-inch wide strips.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then mix in the sparkling water until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the egg and sparkling water mixture, whisking until smooth to form the tempura batter.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, dip each salmon strip into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered salmon strips into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Fry each salmon piece for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until the batter is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a creamy avocado dip.
