A 3-ingredient recipe that will become your favourite snack!

These crispy salmon popcorn are one of my go to recipes for having a delicious, healthy and quick snack or dinner. They are packed with protein, gluten free and can be made more satiating by frying them in extra virgin olive oil.

I love having them with some spicy cajun seasoning or with a spicy mayo or alioli on the side but you can be creative and have them with your favourite dip or even as a salad topper! You are also welcome to switch the salmon with canned tuna it works equally well.
