Ingredients

• 450 grams Salmon fillet
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 large Egg whites
• 180 milliliters Sparkling water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 500 milliliters Olive oil (or suitable oil for deep frying)
• 1 whole Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in thickness, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the egg whites, alternating with the sparkling water, while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Season the batter with salt and pepper, whisking until well combined.

Step 6

In a deep saucepan or a small deep fryer, heat the olive oil to 180°C (350°F). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the salmon pieces.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, dip each salmon piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Step 8

Gently lower the battered salmon pieces into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the salmon tempura from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the tempura.
