Salmon and bacon bites, a very simple and tasty main course to serve during the holidays. The recipe is very simple, and you can also make it in advance, store everything in the refrigerator, and bake later. I used a slightly thick salmon fillet, which I then cut into cubes, but you can also use another type of fish, for example, tuna or swordfish. I then flavored the salmon pieces with salt, pepper, and sage, and wrapped them in bacon slices. Alternatively, you can use pancetta or speck. I recommend following the recipe to the letter, because this main course is uniquely delicious. Without oil, of course, because the bacon fat will act as a dressing and make the salmon tender and juicy, as well as flavorful. Finally, I used chives to close this delight and make these bites a kind of Christmas gift package. An idea that is very simple and quick to make, to enrich your Christmas tables. Now, let’s get into the kitchen together, because the baked salmon and bacon bites will be ready in a click!

Next, cut the fillet into strips and then into 0.8-inch cubes. Transfer them to a basin and season with salt, pepper, and chopped sage. Mix well and wrap each piece with a slice of bacon. Secure with a chive strand and place the bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
