Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
