Add tomato paste to the onions and stir until the paste is brown.

Add garlic paste and stir.

Add the cooked salmon and break it into a paste-like consistency while mixing.

Season with salt, pepper, and a little vinegar, then turn off the heat and let it cool.

Cut the empanada dough in half and stuff with about one teaspoon of the salmon filling, centering it in the middle.
