Serving Size: 2

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) turmeric, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 8 Ounces (oz) wild Pacific salmon fillets, divided
• 0.5 Cup oil for frying
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) cornstarch

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cayenne pepper, ground turmeric, and kosher salt. Add the salmon cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let the salmon marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated salmon cubes and toss gently to ensure an even coating.
3. Carefully add the salmon cubes to the hot oil in the skillet. Cook each side until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute per side. Be cautious not to overcrowd the skillet to maintain the oil temperature and achieve a perfect crisp.
4. Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by a fresh green salad or a cup of masala chai for a complete meal.
