Ingredients for Tempura Salmon

Method

Directions for Tempura Salmon

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Coat the Salmon

    Dip each piece of salmon into the tempura batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.

  5. 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. 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. 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.
