Ingredients
- Spray for cooking
- 1 pack (8 oz) of cream cheese, brought to room temperature
- 1 can (6 oz) of skinless, boneless salmon
- ½ cup of finely diced onion
- 4 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
- 1 tsp of chili powder
- 1 pack (16 oz) of wonton wrappers
- 1 tbsp of olive oil, or more if necessary
Step 1
Start by preheating the oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) to ensure a crispy finish. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the creamy cream cheese with flavorful salmon, aromatic onions, spicy jalapenos, and a touch of chili powder for an exciting twist.
Step 3
Take a moment to carefully spoon a generous teaspoon of the salmon mixture into each delicate wonton wrapper. Gently moisten the edges with water, then fold in the corners and pinch them together to seal the delicious filling inside. For a beautiful shine and added flavor, brush the tops and sides of the wontons with fragrant olive oil.
Step 4
Place the prepared wontons in the oven and bake until they turn a lovely golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. This step will ensure a crispy exterior with a perfectly cooked filling. Enjoy these delightful treats hot out of the oven!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by storing your savory baked salmon wontons in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing any unwanted odors from the fridge.
- 2. For a creative twist, consider placing a layer of parchment paper or wax paper between each layer of salmon wontons to prevent them from sticking together or becoming soggy.
