Ingredients

8 ounce Cream cheese; softened
1 cup Flaked salmon
1 tbsp Onion, minced
1 clove Garlic, crushed and minced
1 package Won Ton wrappers

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked salmon, minced onion, and minced garlic. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is smooth.
2
Place a won ton wrapper on a clean work surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
3
Place a small teaspoon of the salmon mixture into the center of the wrapper.
4
Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing out any excess air.
5
Bring two opposite corners of the triangle together and pinch firmly to seal, creating a traditional wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
6
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350&# 194;Â°F (175ÃÂ°C).
7
Carefully add a few wontons to the hot oil, ensuring they do not crowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
8
Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Note

Make sure to remove any bones from the flaked salmon before mixing the filling to avoid hard bits in the final dish.

For a healthier option, you can bake the wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400ÃÂ°F (200ÃÂ°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden.

Serve with a side of soy sauce, sriracha mayo, or a sweet chili dipping sauce.

Wontons can be assembled ahead of time and frozen on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
