Simple fish fry made with Wild Salmon fillet.  Even though I’ve had this in different styles, still was little skeptical about trying it in Indian style with its flesh being all reddish orange. But to my surprise it was pretty good and suited well for our Indian style fish fry. These fillets are quite dense with firm texture, very fleshy. Once cooked the flesh turns to light pink, very flaky, mild and mellow.

Ingredients

Marinate

• 1 Fillet Salmon about 300 grams approx
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp Red Chili powder
• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 1 tsp Gram flour
• 1/2 tsp Ginger Garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Water

Pan Fry

• 1/4 cup Oil
• 1 sprig Curry leaves

Instructions

• Cut Salmon fillet into desired pieces.
• Take the fish pieces in a mixing bowl, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, gram flour, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice and water.
• Tip 1 - The masala paste should be thick enough to coat, not too light or too dry. Do not add too much water.
• Tip 2 - Adding Gram flour (dry element ) will absorb the water content in the fish, acts as a thickener, binder and will help the hold the masala well.
• Mix to coat the fish evenly.
• Let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes. For longer, cover and refrigerate.
• Heat a cast iron skillet or dosa pan.
• Tip 3 - Any iron pan will hold and spread heat evenly. Will also help to get a better crisp and browned crust.
• Tip 4 - Preheat the iron pan for 2 to 3 minutes before adding oil to ensure proper cooking.
• Add oil and heat it over medium high flame.
• Tip 5 - Make sure the oil is hot when placing the fish. This will instantly firm up the masala coating and cook rather than melting or slipping away in the oil.
• Place the fish in the pan leaving enough room in between.
• Tip 6 - Do not over crowd this will bring down the oil temperature and make the masala slide or slip and get scattered in the oil.
• Cook this side for 3 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
• Flip once and cook for another 3 minutes.
• Once the outer crust turns nice and brown with crisp edges, turn of the heat!
• Add few curry leaves on top which will crisp up instantly when it touches the hot skillet.
• Serve hot with rice or any meal of choice!
