Instructions
For the wontons:
- Cook salmon in the oven according to package directions.
- In a bowl, add cream cheese, green onion, juice of lemon, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Mix well.
- Once cooked, add salmon to to the bowl and mix together. Be careful not to over mix, there should still be good sized chunks of salmon in the mix.
- Lay out wonton wrappers and put a spoonful of salmon mixture in the middle of each one, leaving a small gap around the edges.
- Whisk egg in a bowl and brush on edges of wonton wrappers. Top with another wonton wrapper and then pinch corners inwards to seal the edges together. Repeat with all the remaining wontons.
- In a pan over medium high heat, add avocado oil. Drop in wontons and fry on both sides until golden brown.
- Take them out of the pan and immediately salt them to taste.
For the sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together all ingredients.
For serving:
