If you want something salty, crispy, and genuinely satisfying without reaching for processed snacks, these crispy smoked salmon chips are one of the easiest things you can make.
They’re made with just smoked salmon, torn into thin pieces and air fried until lightly crisped around the edges. No prep, no marinade, no effort – but the result is a high-protein, omega-3 rich snack that feels indulgent while still being incredibly clean.
They crisp up just enough to give that chip-like texture, while still keeping a slight chew in the centre. Perfect on their own, or layered onto a bagel for a quick, elevated meal.
