Ingredients i used for south indian style salmon fish fry
Salmon fillets - i used 400gms of salmon fish fillets with skin on. I cut into pieces for the size which i need. So piece it as you want 🙂
Shallots - use chinna vengayam (shallots) preferrably which gives super punch to the recipes
Garlic flakes - which is a flavor enhancer for all indian recipes. So how should i miss it??
Red chilies - deseed it before soaking if you want the recipe less spicy.
Fennel seeds - do not skip it which blends really well with onion and garlic
Salt - ½ tsp is enough for our taste buds.but you can adjust for your taste. Slightly taste after the masala is ready.
Oil - we gonna make shallow fry. So take the oil as needed.
Check out ingredients card on left side(desktop) and above(expand-mobile/tab) to see measures and variations
Serving suggestions:
You can serve as a side dish with meen kuzhambu or any of your favourite meal. Also it is a perfect starter to serve with lemon wedges and onion slices.
Leave skin : leave the skin of salmon as it gives you a good flavor and dont worry you can easily take the flesh and skin separates.
Adjust salt: use salt for your taste.
Deep or shallow fry: if you are diet conscious, shallow fry it as i did with less oil or elso you can do deep fry by adding more oil. Both will taste good.
