Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground red pepper (cayenne), ground turmeric, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the salmon cubes to the spice mixture and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (Marinating time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

While the oil is heating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated salmon. Toss to ensure each piece is lightly dusted. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully add the salmon to the hot skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (Cook time: ~2-4 minutes)

06

Step

Cook for approximately 1 minute per side, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). (Cook time: ~2-4 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. (Prep time: 1 minute)

08

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro before serving.
Feel free to experiment with other types of fish, such as cod, haddock, or pollock. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a crispy exterior.
Marinating the salmon for longer than 15 minutes will deepen the flavor.
