Variations & Tips
For milder palates or picky eaters, swap the lemon pepper seasoning for a simple mix of salt, garlic powder, and a pinch of paprika. If you prefer a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the cream cheese before mixing with the salmon. You can also use flavored pork rinds (like barbecue or chili-lime) as long as they’re low carb, but taste your seasoning before adding more salt so it doesn’t get too salty. To make smaller bites for little kids, cut the salmon into 3/4-inch cubes and reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes, checking early so they don’t overcook. These can be prepped a few hours ahead: coat the salmon in cream cheese and crumbs, arrange in the dish, cover, and refrigerate; bake just before guests arrive, adding 1–2 extra minutes if going straight from the fridge. Leftovers reheat best in a hot oven or air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the crispy crust.
