Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 teaspoons ground red pepper (cayenne)
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
½ pound wild Pacific salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons cornstarch
½ cup oil for frying
Directions
Mix together the cayenne, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. Add the salmon to the bowl and toss to coat. Allow to sit 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the salmon and again toss to coat.
Cook the salmon in the heated oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
Cook’s Note
Vary the heat and seasoning level according to taste; you can use paprika rather than cayenne for a milder version. I use a full teaspoon of salt.
