    The Mango Salsa is great with salmon, on its own or with tortilla chips. Thicker cuts of salmon may need to cook longer. Add more or less cilantro depending on your liking. If you would like to keep salmon skin crispier, then serve Mango Salsa and Honey Cilantro Sauce on the side.

Fortune Cookies

    • 3 large egg whites

    • 3/4 cup sugar

    • 1/2 cup butter, melted

    • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

    • 3 tbsp water

    • 1 cup all purpose flour (5oz by weight)

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degreed F. Line the sheet pan wit

    parchment paper or silicone mat, and have your fortune strips

    ready to go.

    2. In a stand mixer (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), whip the egg

    whites and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes, until frothy. Whip

    in the melted butter, vanilla, almond, and water until

    incorporated. Add the flour and mix until the flour just

    disappears.

    3. With a tablespoon measure, spoon the batter onto the

    parchment paper and spread it out into an even 3 inch circle. I

    recommend not doing any more than 2-3 at a time, since they set

    very quickly and you will not be able to fold more than that.

    4. Bake the fortune cookies for 7-8 minutes, until the edges brown

    slightly.

    5. When each batch of cookies are finished baking, remove from

    the oven and quickly flip the circle over.

    6. Fold cookie in half, add fortune strip and press the semicircle

    onto edge of a cup to crimp into fortune cookie shape.

    7. Place cookie into muffin tin and let it cool to hold its shape.

    8. Repeat with the remaining batter and enjoy!

    Bake fortune cookies until only edges are

    brown. If too browned then cookies will

    snap.

    Let your cookie cool slightly so that the

    paper will not stick. However, don't wait too

    long or the cookie will not be able to shape.
