salmon bites recipe

Ingredients

1 pound salmon (cubed & skinned)

4 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp honey

2 tbsp sriracha (add more or less depending on how spicy you like)

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 drizzle sesame oil

air fryer & parchment paper

Optional add ons: white rice, cucumbers, carrots, & sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Start by taking the skin off your salmon. With a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin as if you were cutting thin chicken cutlets. Cube the salmon and set aside.
  2. Assemble your marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, garlic & sesame oil. Add in the salmon and marinate for at least 20 minutes. (I prep before hand so I set if for like 2 hours)
  3. Place parchment paper or parchment paper liner in your air fyer and add salmon. Cook on 400 degrees for 9 minutes, flipping salmon over halfway through for maximum crisp!
  4. Serve with rice, cucumber and carrots !

I just started making a little extra sauce and putting it to the side to save as a top drizzle. You should not use any extra marinade from the raw salmon because that can make you sick.

I love this salmon bites recipe because it’s really a great twist on my Crispy Salmon Recipe here! It really levels up your dinner and makes everything taste better!

bbq chicken salad recipe

1 Red Onion

2 Tomatoes on the Vine

1 Can Corn (I roast mine on top of the stove until blackened)

2 Cups Rotisserie Chicken

2 Hard Boiled Eggs

1 Cucumber

1/2 Cup Shredded carrots

Greens of your choice

Barbecue Sauce

Ranch Dressing (I love this Boathouse Greek Yogurt one!)

Assembly:

I love to grab a big bowl and put my greens down first. I always pick a mixed greens with baby spinach but that is totally up to you. Next, I just throw everything in the bowl and finish off with a drizzle of barbecue sauce and then some ranch dressing. My top trick is to cover your giant bowl and give everything a good shake so it all gets covered.

As you can see, this BBQ chicken salad recipe is so quick and delicious. It makes the perfect summer dinner or lunch recipe and is great for meal prep. Salads aren’t always my top choice but when you have so many yummy toppings, it helps you not even realize you have greens in it!

My Simple Pizza Recipe

If you’re anything like me, pizza is one of your favorite meals. I swear I could eat pizza for almost any meal and this makes it so easy. I was in search of a pizza recipe a little less carb heavy and I stumbled on the pita in my fridge. Using these as a crust leaves the pizza almost like a flatbread. The size of the pita also makes it perfect for personal pizzas or to mix and match the toppings. In this post, I’m sharing my go to pita pizza recipe.

Ingredients:

Pita Bread

Olive Oil

Tomato

Fresh Mozzarella

Basil

Balsamic glaze

Directions:

  1. Start by putting the 1 teaspoon of olive oil all over your pita
  2. Thinly slice your tomatoes and layer them around your pizza
  3. Add your fresh mozzarella & basil to the top
  4. Bake at 350 for about 8-9 minutes or until cheese is melted
  5. Once out and cooled sprinkle balsamic glaze over

This pizza recipe is seriously so good. I love how healthy it makes pizza night and makes it quick and easy to make. Some other toppings that I love to use are ricotta cheese, zucchini and even red onions and barbecue sauce. Pizza night is awesome with pita because you can make everyone their own flavor and don’t have to worry about trying to find one everyone loves.

Another really yummy way to make pizza is with flatbreads. I buy mine at my local stores and its similar to the pita. Of course it has more carbs but sometimes you just really want that great slice of pizza.

What are some of your favorite pizza toppings?
