Ingredients

- 500g / 17.6 oz large Sweet potato
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Canola oil
- 40g / 1.4 oz Almonds
- 1 tsp mild Paprika powder
- 250g / 8.8 oz Salmon fillet

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Peel and cut the sweet potato into 1 cm thick sticks. Place in a bowl with cornstarch, cover, and shake until evenly coated. Mix thoroughly with salt, oil, and paprika powder.
3. Spread sweet potato sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Finely grind half of the almonds in a blender, coarsely crush the rest. Mix all almonds with paprika powder. Coat salmon fillet with almond mixture, pressing well.
5. Heat oil in a pan and fry the salmon sticks for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Good to know

The cornstarch draws out moisture from the sweet potato sticks, making them extra crispy. Starch is typically made from potatoes or corn and is generally gluten-free, though traces of gluten might be present due to production processes. Look for gluten-free on labels if necessary.
