How cute are these sweet potato salmon bites? These savory bites are made up of all things Paleo, which means you can enjoy them with zero guilt.

But don’t let their small size fool you! These bite-sized beauties pack in some major nutrition to help detoxify your body and increase your omega 3 intake. Try shopping for wild-caught salmon instead of conventional farm-raised versions to reduce your exposure to toxins, hormones, and antibiotics.

Additionally, these bites take no more than 15 minutes to make. Simply roast the sweet potatoes in the oven, cook the salmon on a skillet, and use toothpicks to keep your mini-burgers in place. Toothpicks aren’t necessary, but they definitely help hold everything together so your presentation is neat.
