Salgados offer a diverse range of flavors, primarily savory, with fillings that can be creamy, cheesy, meaty, or vegetable-based. Common flavor profiles include salty, savory, rich, and sometimes spicy depending on the filling.
The flavors vary greatly depending on the specific salgado. Coxinhas offer a creamy, chicken-based filling with a crispy exterior. Rissois de camarão feature a shrimp filling, often combined with creamy béchamel. Empadas can have fillings ranging from chicken and vegetables to cheese and ham. Pastéis de bacalhau (codfish cakes) provide a distinctly salty and savory taste of bacalhau combined with potato. The specific spices and seasonings used in the fillings determine the depth and complexity of the overall flavor profile.

Dough Consistency
For salgados like coxinhas and rissois, the dough should be smooth and pliable, allowing it to be easily shaped and sealed around the filling without cracking.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature for frying (around 350-375°F or 175-190°C) to ensure the salgados cook evenly and become golden brown without absorbing too much oil.
Freshness
Salgados are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If preparing them ahead of time, reheat them in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispness.
