Ingredients | Lamb Tikka Jalfrezi Balti

2 teaspoons ground red pepper (cayenne)

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon salt

½ pound wild Pacific salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 teaspoons cornstarch

½ cup oil for frying

Directions

Mix together the cayenne, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. Add the salmon to the bowl and toss to coat. Allow to sit 15 minutes.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the salmon and again toss to coat.

Cook the salmon in the heated oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.

Vary the heat and seasoning level according to taste; you can use paprika rather than cayenne for a milder version. I use a full teaspoon of salt.
