Ingredients for Tempura Salmon
Method
Directions for Tempura Salmon
- 1
Prepare the Salmon
Start by cutting the salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt. Set aside.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water. Whisk gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be lumpy.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and floats, it's ready.
- 4
Coat the Salmon
Dip each piece of salmon into the tempura batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Salmon
Carefully place the battered salmon pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the salmon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and wasabi together until well combined. Adjust the amount of wasabi to taste.
- 7
Garnish and Serve
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the fried salmon pieces. Serve immediately with the soy sauce and wasabi dipping sauce.
