Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2 inches in size.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    In a bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon pieces and toss gently to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Coat with Cornstarch

    Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge each seasoned salmon piece in cornstarch, ensuring they are fully coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Fry the Salmon Bites

    Carefully add the coated salmon pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with lime wedges and fresh cilantro as garnish.
