Instructions
These festive salmon bites are perfect for New Year's Eve: crispy, creamy, and luxurious all at once. The soft salmon and avocado create a beautiful contrast with the crunchy base — whether you opt for classic sushi rice, crispy polenta, or a light quinoa base. Ideal as small bites to start the new year in style.
Choose a base. For sushi rice: press the rice firmly into a mold, let it set, cut into cubes, and fry until golden brown. For quinoa: mix with cornstarch, press into a mold, let it set, and fry until crispy.
For polenta: let it firm up, cut into cubes, and fry until crispy.
For cauliflower base: mix cauliflower with egg and arrowroot, shape into small cubes, and fry until firm and golden brown.
Slice the salmon thinly and season with lemon zest, salt, pepper, and optionally a bit of soy sauce.
Slice the avocado.
Place the salmon and avocado on each crispy cube. Serve immediately as festive New Year's Eve bites.
Serving Tip
Serve on a beautiful platter with subtle festive decorations for the perfect New Year's Eve treat.
Storage Tip
Prepare the crispy base in advance, but add the toppings just before serving for the best texture.
