Bang Bang Salmon Wonton Nachos
Bang Bang Salmon Wonton Nachos. These bang bang salmon bites are one of our favorite recipes. But when you add them on top of wonton nachos and serve them with avocado and chives they are even more elevated and so addicting. And of course with this super dreary weather, summer recipes always cheer us up !!
This was a recipe I started making in the winter when I was at the shore for a galantines day weekend. I did not make the nachos, but the bang bang salmon bites were so good I continued to make this recipe throughout the year. But over the summer I had the idea of using the bang bang salmon bites over wonton nachos…definitely did not disappoint.
The dreary weather this weekend had me a bit depressed and reminiscing on summer days. Especially summer weekends with fun and delicious recipes like this one. I remember eating this dinner one Friday night when my cousin visited. The weather was absolutely gorgeous that weekend and this dinner was the perfect way to end Friday night.
The crispy wonton chips topped with the golden fried bang bang salmon. Finished with pretty much any toppings you can think of. We kept it pretty simple this night and went with avocado and chives. But the flavors in this dish are so good and the perfect reminder that you can still have summer eats in the fall.
The forecast is looking pretty down for the next few days, but next weekend is supposed to be beautiful and we are planning to go to the beach. I am hoping for a few more beach days or even backyard tanning days just to feel the warmth of the sun. And of course finishing each day with a summery dish. We are going to try to order clams for clams and spaghetti. Bringing back our favorite tradition, so stay tuned !!
