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
• 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 until evenly coated. 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 to ensure an even coating. This will help achieve a crispy texture.
3. Carefully add the salmon cubes to the hot oil in the skillet. Cook each side for about 1 minute, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the salmon bites from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5. Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with a fresh green salad for a light meal. Enjoy the spicy, crispy, and flavorful bites with a cup of masala chai for an authentic touch.
